HARP  OF  ISRAEL, 


MEET  THE  LOUD  ECHO 

IX    THE 

WILDS  OF   AMERICA. 

BY  HARRIET  LIVERMORE, 

A  MOURNING   PILGRIM:, 

BOUND  TO  THE  PROMISED  LAND. 


"Save  us,  O  (iod,  by  thy  Name  ;  and  judge  us  by  ihy  strength." 


Printed  for  the  Authoress, 
By  J.  Rakeetimw. 

1835. 


Entered  according  to  the  act  of  Congress,  in  the  year  1835, 
by  Harriet  Livermore,  in  the  clerk's  office  of  the  district  court 
of  the  eastern  district  of  Pennsylvania. 


To  Mr.  BllAfl  Boudixott. 

My  respected  friend, 

I  hike  the  liberty  to  address  a  letter  to  yon  in 
this  manner,  desiring  to  interest  your  Christian 
feelings  in  favor  of  the  simple  Hymns  now  present- 
ed to  the  Cherokee  nation,  and  Indians  every 
.  by  a  devoted  friend  to  the  Lord's  outcasts, 
in  the  wilds  of  North  America.  Apologies  are  not 
requisite;  as  the  Aboriginal  character  is  estab- 
lished 0:1  the  score  of  gratefully  receiving  atten- 
tions, which  manifest  respectful  interest  in  their 
welfare  ;  especially  when  offered  by  sueh  persons 
as  possess  a  share  of  confidence  in  the  Indian's 

'.  F  >T  the  latter,  I  put  in  my  humble  claim, 
knowing,  that  in  the  view  of  heaven,  I  deserve  it. 
The  Searcher  of  hearts,  the  Omniscient,  always 

Dt  Jehovah,  whose  *"eye-lids  try  the  chil- 
dren of  men,"  understands  my  unreserved  attach- 
ment to  his  mournful  outcast,  "  the  wife  of  youth," 

n  fused  by  her  God,  by  angels,  and  by  man. 
Yea,  the  .Maker  of  us  all  doth  know,  that  I  left 
these  States  in  1S32,  to  seek  for  the  poor  sheep 
in  the  wilderness:  and  from  a  heart  aching  with 
sympathy  for  wrongs  and  sorrows  which  I  could 
not  remedy,  t<>  pour  the  tributary  stream  of  pity 
and  affection,  on  the  altar  of  prayer  to  the  Indian's 
God,  saying, " Arise,  and  come — and  save  us!" — 
My  Heavenly  Father  saw  me,  urging  my  way  to

the  west,  undismayed  by  Cholera,  sand-bars,  or 
floating  timbers,  by  officers,  soldiers,  agents,  tra- 
ders, commissioners,  or  the  devil.  Through  my 
whole  course,  I  experienced  the  good  of  that  sweet 
declaration  of  the  royal  Psalmist, "  Like  as  a  father 
pitieth  his  children,  so  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that 
fear  him  ;*  for  he  knoweth  our  frame,  he  remem- 
bereth  that  we  are  dust."  My  sincerity  engaged 
his  justice — my  weakness  his  tender  compassion. 
He  saw  me  alone.  Other  females  were  in  com- 
pany with  a  husband,  or  a  father,  or  a  brother,  or 
in  charge  of  a  Missionary,  and  a  member  of  his 
family.  All  who  have  gone  to  the  Indians,  pro- 
fessedly to  teach,  have  a  name  among  some  sect  or 
other,  denominated  Christian,  except  the  pilgrim 
who  addresses  you  in  this  letter."]"  I  am  conscien- 
tiously solitary,  in  every  particular  named  in  this 
letter,  the  names  of  father  and  brother,  only  except- 
ed, at  this  day.  When  I  left  Washington  in  1832, 1 
had  a  father  and  a  brother,  living  upon  this  earth. 
They  knew  my  determination.  They  knew  they 
had  no  right  to  interfere  in  the  matter ;  and  they 
understood  my  character.  I  was  then,  I  am  now,  re- 
solved to  say,  "  living  and  dying,  I  am  the  Lord's." 

I  was  protected  by  Heaven,  my  respected  friend, 
in  a  series  of  travels,  amounting  to  six  thousand 
miles ;  for  I  looked  upward,  and  trusted  only  in 
Jesus,  my  Redeemer,  my  God. 

It  is  unnecessary  for  me  to  give  a  statement 

*  Psalm  ciii.  13,  14. 

t  It  is  true,  I  dare  not  be  connected  with  any  denomination. 
And  in  every  other  way,  I  am  sacredly  separate  unto  God.

on  this  sh^et.  concerning  my  return  to  the  States. 
\  <>u  received  it  from  my  lips,  at  Washington,  in 

lsol.  It  is  probable  the  world  may  have  an  op- 
porttwity  of  seeing  it,  as  I  shall  publish  my  narra- 
tive, 4*  if  the  Lord  will;"  and  the  Judgment  day- 
will  deelare  it  ;  f  >r  it  is  written,  "  God  shall  bring 
ever\  work  into  judgment,  with  every  secret  thing, 
whether  it  be  good,  <»r  whether  it  be  evil." 

marked   before,  that  my  sincerity 
I  the  Aboriginal  inheritors  of  this  country, 
their  confidence,  I  shall  now  ob- 
.  t  w,  alas  !  even  of  the  tribes 
I  have  seen,  may  have  any  true  knowledge  of  the 
same,  until  we  meet   in  that   grand   revolution  of 
God,  the   Light  of  Israel  shall  be  for  a 

and  Ins  Holy  One  tor  a  flame,  and  the  king- 
dom shall  be  the  Lord's." 

I  present  my  Hymns,  however,  as  a  testimony 
of  immortal  and  eternal  friendship,  for  the  afflict- 
ed red  men,  to  whom  I  would

I  hope  you  will  be  induced  by  a  measure  of  the 
same  Spirit,  that  I  believe  has  led  me  to  publish 
these  Hymns  for  your  people,  to  introduce  them  to 
the  notice  of  every  Indian  you  may  see,  who  can 
read  them.  01  could  1  realize,  that  the  murmur- 
iiiir  breeze  of  the  forests  in  Missouri,  would  mingle 
with  mv  simple  songs,  repeated  bv  the  Christian

(    G    ) 

Kickapoo,  or  Potawattamie  Indians,  in  their  sor- 
rowful days,  my  praises  to  God  should  ascend  on 
the  wings  of  the  morning,  on  the  cloud  of  the 
evening,  in  strains  of  adoring  gratitude,  that  he 
permitted  me  to  write  them.  But,  alas !  I  fear 
this  joy  may  never  be  mine.  Those  tribes  know 
not  the  white  man's  language. 

When  I  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  you  at 
Washington,  I  anticipated  a  speedy  and  eternal 
departure  from  this  continent.  To  this  time,  I  am 
the  subject  of  disappointment.  All  my  arduous 
and  resolute  attempts  to  quit  America,  have  hither- 
to been  defeated.  Hope,  is,  however,  still  quick 
to  comfort  my  orphan  heart,  with  prospects  that 
fix  their  location  on  May,  1836 ;  and  I  really  en- 
courage myself  from  hour  to  hour,  with  the  idea, 
that  the  breezes  which  fan  the  blossoms  of  that 
month,  will  swell  the  sails  of  a  ship,  that  bears 
me  away,  forever  away,  and  far,  far  away,  from 
the  land,  or  from  the  shores  of  the  land,  where 
my  infancy  wept. 

From  afflictions  I  do  not  expect  to  escape,  go 
where  I  may,  in  this  body.  No.  This  earthly 
tabernacle  can  claim  no  inheritance  in  Eden.  It 
is  "  dead  because  of  sin ;"  but  glory  and  praise  to 
God,  its  tenant  is  life,  because  of  righteousness, 
the  righteousness  of  Christ.  So  far  from  a  dispo- 
sition to  avoid  the  sufferings  of  the  present  day, 
am  I  placed  by  the  principles  implanted  in  my 
soul,  that  I  just  go  forward  to  meet  my  lot,  which, 
I  fervently  hope,  is  martyrdom  at  last,  in  Jeru- 
salem, the  ancient  city  of  God,  for  the  name-sake 


(  1  ) 

and  for  the  testimony  of  Jesus,  our  Saviour  and 
our  Lord. 

Upon  this  theme,  the  words  probability — possi- 
bility, &C  may  be  annexed  to  the  decision  of  the 
unbelieving  lord  in  Samaria,  as  often  as  it  ifl  man* 
tioned  ;  to  which  my  reply  is  ever  ready,  "with 
God  nothing  shall  be  impossible."  I  cheerfully 
submit  my  whole  destiny,  to  the  righteous  will  of 
my  Redeemer,  the  Sovereign  of  the  ages  to  come ; 
and  I  know  no  fear  but  the  fear  of  the  Lord. 

The  present  state  of  things,  I  view  as  prepara- 
tive to  a  sudden  and  universal  Revolution  through 
the  whole  extent  of  this  spacious  globe,  which  be- 
comes necessary  to  the  support  of  the  Name  above 
every  Name,  and  of  the  throne  of  grace — to 
man  !- — Worlds  invisible,  that  is,  the  spiritual 
worlds,  have  hosts  of  agents  on  both  sides  the 
question,  truth — and  the  LIE.  And  I  believe  they 
are  approaching  to  the  conflict,  named  in  Holy 
Scripture,  "  the  battle  of  that  Great  Day  of  GOD 
Almighty,"  in  which  victory  is  given  to  Jesus 
Christ,  his  elect  angels  and  people.  These  invisi- 
ble agents  influence  the  visible  creation  of  animal 
character,  both  of  man  and  brute  ;  and  as  there 
are  far  more  men  on  the  wrong  side  than  on  the 
ri<_rht,  of  course  the  spiritual  sway  is  subject  to 
Satan,  whose  wrath  against  truth  inflames  to  the 
acme,  or  high  water  mark  of  violence  in  the  earth, 
because  of  the  short  time.  Satan  knows  he  is  the 
Prince  of  this  world  :  (the  age  that  now  is)  and  of 
none  beyond  it.  No  marvel,  that  the  prospect  now 
in  light,  l-  very  awful  to  the  Prince  of  darkness, 


(    8    ) 

even  his  imprisonment  in  the  bottomless  pit  ;*  and 
likewise  the  desolation  of  his  base  kingdoms.  He 
therefore  roars  louder  and  stronger,  in  the  bravado 
spirit  of  a  rebel,  against  a  power  which  he  is 
aware  can  never  be  destroyed ;  for  his  confession 
to  Christ,  "  I  know  thee  who  thou  art,"  &c.  is  re- 
collected  with  his  question  to  the  Saviour,  "  ART 
THOU  COME  HITHER  to  torment  us,  before 
the  time  ? 

It  is  our  lot,  my  respected  friend,  to  witness  the 
scenes,  which  are  preparative  to  the  overthrow  of 
Satan  and  his  hosts ;  and  we  must  calculate  upon 
sufferings,  and  nothing  else,  through  the  short  time 
of  his  great  wrrath  and  power.  Let  us,  then,  con- 
stantly pray  for  strength  to  endure  his  temptations, 
which  come  to  us  secondarily,  and  through  his  sub- 
jects, or  immediately  from  himself,  as  a  spirit  that 
can  throw  fiery  darts  into  our  souls ;  but  is  not 
able  to  destroy,  wThile  we  are  trying  to  watch  and 
pray,  as  commanded  by  the  Lord. 

I  entreat  of  you  (I  would  say  the  same  to  every 
Indian  upon  the  earth  if  I  could)  to  rejoice  in  your 
tribulations;  for  depend  on  this  word,  they  are  a 
distinguished  branch  of"  Jacob's  trouble,"  yea,  an 
important  hour  of  that  time  of  his  woes,  out  of 
which  he  shall  be  saved.  See  the  prophecy  of 
Jeremiah.  Perhaps  you  may  say  "  this  is  an  hard 
saying" — It  seems  so,  to  be  sure,  in  the  present 

*  By  this  I  understand  ihat  Satan's  influence  is  so  to  be  circum- 
scribed, that  he  can  neither  tempt  nor  distress  any  object  or 
being  within  the  compass  of  the  millennial  earth,  during  the 
lapse  of  1000  years. 


(    9    ) 

condition  of  things ;  yet,  even  upon  the  principles 
of  human  philosophy,  I  might  urge  you  to  glory 
over  Satan,  whose  fall  is  Jacob's  rise,  whose  de- 
struction is  Israel's  glory;  for  your  present  troubles, 
()  !  ye  nations  of  Ephraim,  will  result  in  the  splen- 
did exhibition  of  all  the  tribes  of  Israel,  upon 
the  mountain  of  blessing,  and  in  the  city  of  God, 
to  shout  the  everlasting  praise  of  God  and  the 
Lamb. 

The  red  men  are  not  alone,  in  the  regions  of 
trouble,  at  this  eventful  period.  We  can  hear  of 
no  nation  of  people,  on  the  face  of  the  whole  earth, 
that  are  at  ease.  Revolutions  are  increasing,  bring- 
ing forth  wind  and  tempest,  effecting  no  permanent 
deliverance  from  evil ;  but  merely  changing  the 
shape  thereof.  Every  system  adopted  by  man, 
has  hitherto  been  treated  like  a  child's  rattle,  after 
a  while  cast  off  for  something  new ;  and  as  the 
wheels  of  worldly  governments  go  round,  changes 
are  continually  taking  place  ;  and  God  will  not 
suffer  them  to  be  otherwise,  because  they  are  not 
subservient  to  his  glory,  nor  productive  of  good  to 
his  people. 

There  is  a  two-fold  mystery ;  Godliness  and 
Iniquity.  Of  the  former,  Paul  said  it  was  great 
ID  the  manifestation  of  God  in  flesh  ;  and  of  course 
the  latter  cannot  be  small,  since  the  apostle  de- 
clared its  work  elicited  in  "  all  power,"  and  "  ly- 
ing wonders."  The  latter,  however,  is  an  usur- 
pation, suffered  to  take  place  ;  and  as  it  is  beyond 
the  power  of  faith  to  apprehend  the  exact  and 
particular  construction  of  the  great  will  of  God, 
she  wisely  lets  down  her  wings  before  his  mercy 


(    io   ) 

seat,  and  adores  the  yet  unknown  decrees  of  per- 
fect Deity.  I  do  really  think,  my  respected  friend, 
that  the  Indians  may  congratulate  themselves,  that 
their  redemption  is  near.  The  iniquity  of  all  na- 
tions is  about  full ;  and  so  is  the  red  man's  cup  of 
woe.  However,  at  all  hazards,  trust  in  God.  This 
is  safe ;  for  so  his  holy  word  expressly  declares. 
His  power  is  infinite,  because  he  is  the  Great  Ex- 
istence, in  whom  alone  there  is  infinity ;  and  he 
is  the  beginning  and  the  ending,  who  is  called  our 
Saviour ;  so  that  it  is  folly  to  fear  what  men  or 
devils  can  do  to  us.  If  Satan  is  strong,  God  is 
Strength,  if  Satan  is  wise,  God  is  Wisdom — 
if  Satan  is  mighty,  God  is  THE  ALMIGHTY. 
In  knowledge,  in  power,  in  majesty,  in  glory,  in 
wisdom,  strength,  and  goodness,  our  God  is  in- 
finite. Then  let  us  trust  in  him,  let  us  fear  him ; 
and  say,  "  if  God  be  for  us,  who  shall  be  against 
us?"  "  Who  shall  lay  any  thing  to  the  charge  of 
God's  elect?"  Shall  Satan,  through  man?  Nay  ; 
It  is  God  that  justifieth  ;  for  Christ  hath  died  ! 

Yet  a  little  while,  and  the  oppressor,  the  extor- 
tioner, the  spoiler,  ceaseth  to  be — in  power. — 
True  the  sorrowful  day  is  to  be  very  dark.  To 
be  sure,  terrible  is  the  coming  scene.  The  wrath 
of  Satan  against  God's  elect — the  wrath  of  God 
against  the  enemy — the  wrath  of  man  against 
man  ! — and  all  summed  up  in  these  words,  "  The 
great  Day  of  the  wrath  of  the  Lamb !"  when  the 
vials  of  vengeance  pour,  and  the  spirit  of  God 
flies  like  a  frighted  dove,  away  from  the  regions 
of  war — of  famine  and  plague — the  regions  of 
violence  and  spoil !  Jeremiah  and  his  fellow  seers, 


(  11  ) 

through  the  telescope  of  prophecy,  beheld  the 
whole  world  at  0HC6,  in  OOOfliaioD  and  dismay. 

Let  ns  watch  and  pray — lot  us  remember  Cal- 
vary !  Oh  I  Calvary  !  we  will  not  cease  to  cele- 
brate thy  victory,  though  the  sun  retired  and  left 
thee  dark  as  night  :  yet  OUI  Kedemer  cried,  "  It  is 
finished  ;"  and  the  veil  was  rent — the  saints  awoke, 
the  rocks  gave  way,  and  bell  TO8  in  despair  I 

My  own  experience  is  entirely  on  the  side  of 
Cavalry  !  The  mountains  of  Zion,  Tabor,  Moriah 
and  Olivet,  are  sacred  and  glorious;  and  upon 
them  the  golden  trumpets  will  blow  in  the  millen- 
nial day  ;  hut  Calvary  rung  with  the  cry,  M  It  is 
finished,"  when  Jesus  died  for  me  !  ! !  Yea,  the 
blood  of  Jesus,  shed  for  a  propitiatory  sacrifice, 
can  take  away  my  sm ;  and  his  Spirit  w  ill  lead  me 
to  rest,  even  that  rest,  that  Sabbath  of  which  Jesus 
is  the  Lord  !  My  hope  is  now  sealed  to  the  cross, 
to  the  tomb,  and  to  the  throne  of  Mercy.  I  cling 
to  the  name  of  Jesus  ;  and  Antichrist  must  strike 
me  there  or  not  at  all. 

I  have  a  variety  of  perplexities,  trials,  &c.  that 
goad  my  feelings,  and  taste  a  good  deal  like  worm- 
wood  :  but  I  perceive  every  one  of  them  are  suf- 
fered  to  come  upon  me  as  watch- words  suited  to 
the  hour;  and  their  tendency  is  to  prevent  me  from 
sleeping  in  time  of  temptation  and  increasing 
r  ;  so  I  have  reason  to  be  thankful  in  the 
midst  of  trouble.  There  is  nothing  very  pleasant 
to  me  now,  but  the  name  of  Jesus,  and  his  salva- 
tion. Since  I  was  turned  away  from  the  Indians, 
and  returned  to  the  States,  1  have  felt  like  a  cap- 
tive exile,  more  than  any  thing;  and  occasionally 


(     12    ) 

bewail  the  times  like  Jeremiah,  crying  "  Woe  is 
me." — In  general,  however,  I  endeavour  to  cheer 
myself  with  the  hope  I  possess  in  the  mercy  and 
grace  of  God,  calling  upon  his  Name,  and  meditat- 
ing in  his  blessed  prophetic  words,  comparing  with 
them  the  signs  of  the  times,  and  believing  the  glori- 
ous epiphany,  and  personal  reign  of  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ  very  near  at  hand,  when  the  children  of  the 
forest,  the  Aborigines  of  America,  shall  enter  their 
holy  rest.  But  for  these  views,  and  the  testimony 
of  my  conscience,  that  I  was  willing  to  suffer  in 
the  wilderness  with  the  Indians,  my  sorrows  would 
be  insupportable.  Indeed,  as  it  is,  I  dare  not  look 
down  upon  earth  at  all ;  but  away  to  Calvary,  and 
upward  to  Jesus,  &c.  Farewell,  my  respected 
friend — May  Divine  Grace  support  you,  and  the 
God  of  Israel  save  you  from  desponding  in  the 
dark  and  cloudy  day.  With  devoted  regard,  I  am 
your  servant  in  the  Lord,

DEDICATION. 

This  little  book,  I  humbly  dedicate  to  thee,  O 
tli  u  Shepherd  and  Bishop  of  BOIllfl  I  Holy  and 
!  Redeemer,  the  Light  to  lighten  the  Gen- 
and  the  Glory  of  thy  people  Israel.  I  do 
this  frith  confidence  in  thy  Divine  Goodness,  that 
thou  wilt  accept  this  feeble  offering  tor  the  sake  of 
that  precious  mercy,  which  rejoiceth  over  judg- 
ment, in  my  salvation  thus  far;  and  for  the  sake 
of  thy  dying  Love.  At  the  foot  of  thy  cross,  per- 
mit me  to  lay  down  the  "  Harp  of  Israel ;"  and 
when  the  red  men  come  to  Calvary  to  weep  and 
pray,  let  them  take  it,  and  sing  praises  and  thanks- 
giving to  the  Lamh  that  was  slain  from  the  foun- 
dation of  the  world.  If  it  please  thee  to  bestow 
thy  gracious  benediction  on  so  poor  an  offering, 
then  shall  it  comfort  thine  outcasts  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  America,  and  my  heart  shall  rejoice  in  thy 
mercy;  and  be  thy  living  sacrifice,  if  thou  pleasest 
to  accept  me,  on  account  of  thy  dying  for  sinners, 
of  whom  I  am  chief.

THE 


HARP  OF  ISRAEL. 


FOR  CHRISTIAN  INDIANS. 

Rest  in  the  Lord ;  and  wait  patiently  for  him. — P*alm  xxxvii.  ' 

1. 
"  Rest  in  the  Lord  :"  O  sweet  command  ; 

And  patient  wait  till  he  shall  come, 
To  summon  us  to  Canaan's  land, 

And  welcome  outcast  Israel  home. 

2. 

In  patient  hope  we  will  endure, 

All  the  remains  of  bitter  woe, 
And  our  election  to  ensure, 

We'll  watch,  and  after  Jesus  go. 

& 

In  faith  our  ceaseless  prayers  shall  rise 
To  Israel's  Saviour,  Shepherd,  Friend ; 

That  he  will  watch  us  from  the  skies. 
Till  all  our  tribulations  end. 


(     16    ) 

4. 

The  days  he'll  shorten  for  our  sake ; 

Our  groans  assail  his  pity's  ear  : 
He'll  save  us  for  his  mercy's  sake, 

In  Zion's  sacred  jub'lee  year.

From  east  and  west,  from  south  to  north,

To  Canaan's  land  the  tribes  He'll  bring,

1. 

Was  ancient  Jericho  a  type?  O!  search 

The  book  and  read, 
The  Old  and  New  completely  mate, 

And  both  to  truth  will  lead. 

A  valiant  man,  the  son  of  Nun, 
From  God  received  the  word. 


(    20    ) 

That  cursed  city  shall  come  down, 

Felled  by  Jehovah's  sword. 
3. 
Go  round  about  its  heavy  wall, 

Six  days  from  morn  till  night, 
And  on  the  seventh  it  shall  fall, 

Declares  the  God  of  might. 
4. 
Let  seven  priests,  with  trumpets  seven, 

Precede  the  Ark  of  God ,* 
With  ardor  blow,  the  word  is  given, 

Pass  on  before  the  Lord. 

5. 

Then  Joshua  unto  Israel  said, 

Let  not  your  voices  raise 
A  shout,  till  I  shall  give  command 

To  shout  Jehovah's  praise. 

6. 
On  the  first  day  the  solemn  march 

Continued  every  hour ; 
The  second  once,  and  thus  till  six 

Were  closed  :  when  lo  !  the  power

That  severed  Jordan's  flowing  stream, 
From  every  salted  wave 


(    «    ) 

Spoke  in  the  la<t,  the  seventh  blast, 

And  Israel's  leader  gave 
8. 
Command  to  shout,  the  people  joined, 

The  seventh  mighty  voice, 

The  city  walls  embraced  the  ground, 

And  Israel's  host  rejoice. 

9. 
Then  Joshua  declared  plain, 

That  city  ne'er  should  rise, 
N     corner  stone  be  laid  again — 

He  that  attempts  it,  dies. 

10. 
And  God  was  with  the  son  of  Nun, 

Whose  fame  was  spread  abroad 
Through  all  the  world,  or  far  as  known 

Was  Israel,  and  his  God.

I  ask  :  Is  not  the  antitype 
Of  all  this  wondrous  scene, 

In  Jesus'  Revelations  writ, 
With  sure  prophetic  pen? 
1*2. 

O  happy  they  who  read  with  care, 
And  blest  who  keep  the  word 


(    22    ) 

Of  Jesus,  and  with  ceaseless  prayer 
Address  the  throne  of  God. 


—  as  Prince  of  the  Lord's  host  am  I  now  come. — Joshua  v.  14. 

1. 

The  Children  of  Israel,  by  Joshua  led, 
Passed  safe  over  Jordan,  and  entered  the  land, 
That  was  promised  by  oath  of  Jehovah  their  God, 
To  Abraham's  seed,  and  his  counsel  must  stand. 

2. 
Therefore  Joshua  and  Caleb  were  saved  alive, 
Two  circumcised  nobles  of  Israel's  host ; 
The  thousands  that  died,  they  by  holiness  survive, 
That  forest-born  children  might  reach  Canaan's 
coast. 

3. 
On  Jericho's  plains  they  were  safely  encamped, 
And  to  Joshua  the  God  of  his  fathers  proclaimed, 
That  justice  and  truth  be  forever  enstamped, 
On  the  covenant  soil  that's  for  glory  ordained. 

4. 
For  Canaan's  fair  land  is  ordained  to  be, 
A  rest  for  the  Ark,  and  the  church  of  the  Lord, 
And  'twas  honored  by  Shiloh  in  Joshua's  day, 
Who  beheld  him  as  captain,  with  victory's  sword. 


(    23    ) 

f). 

All !  surely  the  scene  was  a  type  of  that  day, 
Reported  by  Jesus,  the  Light  of  the  world, 
When  descending  in  clouds  his  imperial  sway, 
Shall  announce  him  a"  Banner,  o'er  Zion  unfurled. 

6. 

As  "  the  Man"  he  will  stand  on  the  hallowed  mount, 
With  the  two-edged  sword  in  his  powerful  hand; 
And  as  God,  he  the  infidel  armies  will  rout, 
That  pretend  they  will  reign  on  Immanuel's  land. 

7. 

Behold  I  now  come  as  the  Prince  of  a  host, 
That  shall  fight  for  my  people,  my  city,  my  throne, 
And  the  cruel  wild  Beast  in  the  lake  shall  be  tost, 
Who  usurped  the  place  of  the  Holy  three  One. 

8. 
Now  do  any  inquire  how  long  it  shall  be, 
E'er  Emanuel  shouts,  "  I  am  come  for  to  reign ;" 
I  point  them,  my  Lord,  to  thy  Word,  and  to  thee — 
Let  them  search — let  them  pray — quickly  come — 
Lord — Amen.

In  his  days  shall  the  righteous  flourish. — Psalm  lxii.  7. 
1. 

Millennium  !  O  glorious  scene  ! 
Messiah's  peaceful,  holy  reign; 
When  all  the  subjects  of  his  grace, 
Enjoy  the  smiles  of  Jesus'  face : 
In  glory's  course  the  righteous  glow 
With  love  to  Calvary  as  they  bow, 
Before  the  King  on  David's  throne, 
And  cry  "  All  hail,"  sweet  Mary's  Son. 

2. 
Millennium  !  the  days  are  near, 
When  wicked  ones  shall  quake  with  fear, 
And  in  consuming  fires  wail 
That  they  did  Joseph's  peace  assail : 
For  lo !  their  sable  king  is  bound, 
Forbid  to  tread  on  Jacob's  ground  ,* 
Thro'  all  the  lapse  of  Shiloh's  days, 
While  red  men  chaunt  his  wondrous  praise. 

3. 
Millennium  !  where  virtue  shines 
In  all  the  life  of  Gospel  lines, 
When  no  opposing  powers  plan, 
To  overthrow  a  righteous  man  ; 
No  slander  or  invectives  rude, 
Pursue  to  wound,  the  wise  and  good  ; 


(  *  ) 

Nor  covetous  profcs-ors  dare 
Among  the  righteous  to  appear.

Hail !  days  of  holy,  heavenly  rest  ! 
Where  pious  Indians  arc  blest, 
And  flourish  in  their  tents  of  peace, 
Possessed  of  plenteous  blessed  ease. 
O  !  come,  my  Saviour's  promis'd  days, 
Rise,  shine,  thou  sun,  with  cloudless  rays: 
Come,  Jesus  !  Israel's  Shiloh,  come, 
And  gather  all  thy  red  men  home.

Eclio  the  pious  Psalmist's  cry 

To  Israel's  jealous  God  ? 
And  pray  thee  lor  thy  mercy's  sake, 
Me  as  a  subject  thou  wilt  take, 

Into  [\\\   Kingdom,  Lord!

I  dare  not  ask  but  lor  a  crumb, 
And  that  denied  I  must  bo  dumb, 

Nor  murmur  or  repine  ; 
C 


(    2(5    ) 

But  I  can  never  cease  to  pray, 
While  grace  prolongs  probation's  day  : 

0  write  my  name  with  thine ! 

3. 
That  in  the  covenant  of  grace, 
So  sure  to  Jacob's  favored  race, 

1  may  remembered  be ; 
And  in  the  glory  have  a  share, 
Engaged  to  Abra'am's  promis'd  heir, 

By  sacred  oath  from  thee  ! 

4. 
O,  visit  me.  Redeemer,  Lord, 
And  clothe  me  with  thy  powerful  word  ,* 

That  rooted  in  thy  name, 
I  may  withstand  the  evil  day, 
Of  Jacob's  seventh  grief,  and  say, 

All  praise  to  Israel's  Lamb ! 

5. 

O  !  let  me  see  thy  chosen  meet, 
Ephraim  and  Judah  at  thy  feet, 

Rejoicing  in  thy  love ; 
No  more  dispersed,  or  outcasts  sad, 
Judah  shall  shout,  red  men  be  glad, 

And  seraphs  chaunt  above  ; 


(     27     ) 

G. 
Glory  to  Israel's  mighty  One, 
He  sits  on  David's  ancient  throne; 

Glory  to  God  on  high ; 
Now  peace  and  love  on  earth  are  found, 
felicities  abound, 
Through  Him,  who  once  did  die  ! 


Acts  in.  21 u  Times  of  restitution." 

1. 
Will  Jesus  come  again  ? 
And  restitution  make  ? 
My  spirit  cries,  Amen, 
Come,  and  thy  kingdom  take  : 
Teach  us,  O  Lord,  the  times  to  know, 
Delusions  shun,  and  'scape  the  woe  ! 

2. 

Th     writings  of  the  seers, 

Are  oracles  of  God  ; 

They  speak  of  days  as  years, 

According  to  his  word, 

And  none  can  fail,  or  miss  its  mate, 

But  on  his  sovereign  will  they  wait. 


(    28     ) 

3. 

And  what  will  thou  restore, 
At  thy  return  to  earth  ? 
Shall  Israel's  ancient  choir, 
Revive  to  second  birth  ? 
Shall  David's  tabernacle  rise, 
A  temple  for  the  just  and  wise? 

4. 
Shall  old  Jerusalem, 
Now  desolate  and  low, 
Appear  in  state  again, 
And  to  the  nations  show 
Her  lofty  towers,  and  temple  fair, 
Her  gates  inscribed  "the  Lord  is  there?" 

5. 
Shall  Joseph's  banish'd  seed 
To  Zion  come  again  ? 
From  want  and  misery  freed, 
By  Israel's  paschal  Lamb  ? 
Poor  outcasts,  wanderers,  scattered,  peeled, 
Shall  they  to  holiness  be  sealed? 

SECOND  PART. 

1. 

Thus  saith  Jehovah,  hear, 
O  people  of  my  choice, 


(  m  ) 

My  («lorv  shall  appear, 

And  Jacob's  sons  rejoice, 

For  I  will  restitution  make, 

Fur  Abraham,  my  servant's  sake. 

2 

Mv  halting  one  I'll  bring..*. 
Judah  "  shall  rule  with  God," 
And  David's  house  within, 
Be  strong  like  Christ  his  Lord  : 
His  tabernacle  sure  shall  rise, 
Declares  the  God  of  earth  and  skies. 

3. 

My  outcast  I  will  save, 

Ephraim's  "  my  eldest  born  ; 

Behold  I  ope  his  grave, 

In  fair  millennium's  morn; 

For  he's  the  strength  of  Shiloh's  head, 

And  Ephraim  is  to  Israel  wed. 

4. 
Manasseh — "  little  one," 
Is  mine,  and  Gilead  too, 
On  him  the  glorious  Sun 
Shall  rise  and  shine  anew; 
I'll  bring  him  from  the  forest  drear, 
In  Zion's  sacred  jub'lee  year, 
C  2 


(     30     ) 

5. 

Meantime  the  heavens  I'll  shake, 
The  sun  shall  hide  his  face, 
The  frighted  earth  shall  quake, 
The  mountains  leave  their  place, 
The  stars  shall  fall,  the  silvery  moon 
To  blood  in  the  convulsion  turn. 

6. 
Through  all  the  wreck  I'll  bring, 
Salem,  my  ancient  place, 
It  shall  be  built  again, 
And  stand  secure  by  grace — 
The  centre  of  this  earth  restored, 
And  chosen  city  of  the  Lord. 

THIRD  PART. 
1. 

Nor  Palestine  alone, 

And  Jacob's  sons  are  blest, 

But  Jesus,  Holy  One  ! 

Will  give  creation  rest ; 

The  earth  be  filled  with  peace  and  joy, 

No  more  harass'd  by  sin's  alloy. 

2. 
Gentiles  shall  have  their  part, 
In  the  Restorer's  reign, 


(     31     ) 

Nor  fed  the  dire  mart, 

Ot*  death  of  sickening  pain  ; 

At  Salem's  altar  thej  shall  bend, 

And  worship  Ciikist  their  heavenly  friend. 

3. 
The  lion's  dreadful  roar, 
The  wolf's  tremendous  howl, 
Distress  and  fright  no  more, 
A  trembling  human  soul; 
F>ut  with  the  harmless  ox  they  cat, 
And  dust  shall  be  the  serpent's  meat. 

4. 

O  blessed  happy  times 

Of  restitution,  come, 

By  faith  the  prospect  shines, 

To  every  humble  one  ; 

Of  Gentile  birth,  or  Jewish  race, 

That  feel  the  power  of  Gospel  grace. 

5. 

On  Jrsrs  I  will  call, 

His  high  command  obey, 

For  he'll  deliver  all 

Who  always  watch  and  pray  : 

Dell  save  me  in  temptation's  hour, 

And  I  shall  prove  redemption's  power. 


(     32     ) 

6. 
All  glory,  honor,  praise, 
And  worship  are  his  due, 
Ancient  of  endless  days, 
Man,  and  Jehovah  too  : 
He  comes  in  person  to  redeem 
Earth,  men  and  beasts : — Amen,  Amen. 


Thou  breakest  the  *heads  of  the  dragons  in  the  waters. 

Thou  breakest  the  heads  of  tLeviathanin  pieces.  Ps.  lxxiv.  13, 14. 

1. 

Almighty  Power  !  my  soul  adores 
Thy  sovereign  might,  thy  vengeful  stroke, 
That  sunk  to  ruin  Israel's  foes, 
In  foaming  waters,  dragons  broke. 

2. 
Bold,  heaven-daring  man  may  vaunt, 
A  moment  brief,  what  he  will  do ; 
But  all  his  power  must  droop  and  faint, 
If  God,  "  in  vengeance  drest,"  pursue. 

3. 
What  haughty  tyrant,  e'er  repelled 
Jehovah's  sharp  and  glittering  sword  ? 

*  Infidel  Despots. 

t  The  Man  of  sin — the  wild  Beast. 


(  as  ) 

What  king  or  warrior  ever  held 
Successful  war  against  the  Lord  I 

4. 
Egypt  assayed  the  awful  deed  ; 
Her  king  despised  Jehovah's  word, 
But  Egypt's  doom  was  quickly  sealed, 
Broke  id  the  sea  by  vengeance'  rod. 

5. 
Assyria,  proud  Assyria,  too, 
Scornful  and  vain,  pressed  reckless  on, 
To  meet  destruction  by  the  foe 
Of  tyrants— God  the  Holy  One. 

6. 

And  Chaldea's  boast — proud  Babylon, 
Sank  in  disgrace  as  sunk  in  sin  ; 
With  wealthy  Tyre  and  bloody  Rome, 
Opposed  Jehovah's  word  in  vain. 

7. 

Again  shall  nations  feel  his  ire, 
When  kings  in  infidel  despite, 

insfl  the  name  of  Christ  conspire, 
And  challenge  Jesus  to  the  fight. 

8. 
Loud  may  they  roar — "now  let  us  rend 
The  bands  of  lofty  Deity, 


(    34    ) 

His  praying  servants  quickly  send 
To  shades  of  death,  and  we'll  be  free." 

9. 
Ah  !  then  the  Mighty  God  awakes 
His  work  of  vengeance  to  perform ; 
With  iron  rod  the  dragon  breaks, 
In  unbelief's  tumultuous  foam. 

10. 
Awful  the  hour  to  Zion's  foes ! 
Better  they  ne'er  had  seen  the  light, 
Than  scorn  the  grace  that  freely  flows 
To  bear  our  race  to  realms  of  light. 


Isaiah  lii.  6,  10. 


1. 

Delightful  thought !  the  day  is  nigh, 
When  Shiloh  shall  again  appear, 
And  shout  from  mountain  tops,  "  'tis  I," 
Mine  Israel  need  no  longer  fear. 

2. 
Yes,  in  that  day  the  church  shall  know, 
That  Jesus  speaks  from  Olives'  hill, 
Before  her,  Christ,  the  Lamb  will  go, 
His  feet — how  strong — how  beautiful. 


(  »  ) 

3. 

Once  they  were  feeble,  weary,  worn, 
Once  thej  were  nailed  to  the  cross, 
But  now  to  burning  braes  they  turn, 
Strong  upon  Olives1  dewy  moss. 

4. 
He  publisheth  eternal  peace, 
The  nations  his  salvation  sec, 

Of  Z ion's  God,  the  God  of  grace, 
And  shout  the  glorious  jubilee.

The  watchmen  lift  their  voice,  as  one 
United  praises,  hail  the  day, 
Of  favored  Zion's  safe  return 
To  God  the  Life—the  Truth — the  Way. 

6. 
Jerusalem  is  now  redeemed, 
Her  wastes  and  ruins  can  rejoice, 
That  David's  God  and  Son  hath  screened 
The  city  of  his  ancient  choice.

All  their  power  and  pomp  are  lost : 

See  them  tremble,  quake  and  fall, 

Calling  on  the  rocks  to  hide 

Them — their  armies,  great  and  small, 

From  the  Lamb,  they  have  denied. 

2. 

But  in  vain  the  rebels  cry  : 
Rocks  and  mountains  melt  in  flame, 
Kindled  by  the  piercing  eye 
Of  the  injured,  wrathful  Lamb. 
Hear  his  voice,  like  thunder  roll ! 
Gentiles  now  your  times  are  o'er, 
You  have  grieved  my  righteous  soul, 
Grace  shall  follow  you  no  more. 

3. 
While  my  heritage  lay  waste, 
On  the  Genlile  world  I  poured, 
Mercy  {ree^  and  Gospel  grace, 
But  you  would  not  serve  the  Lord. 
Long  I've  borne  your  evil  ways, 
And  refrained  my  dire  storm,

On  his  brethren,  God's  elect, 
L)id  you  in  their  destiny, 
Read  the  doom  you  might  expect.

Hath  drained  the  cup,  his  wrath  did  pour.

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  to  thee  I  come, 
To  plead  thy  cause  with  power  divine. 

4. 
Behold  I've  taken  from  thy  hand, 
The  cup  of  trembling,  tilled  with  wrath 
No  more  forever  shall  thy  land 
Drink  of  the  curse,  Jehovah  saith. 

5. 
But  I  have  filled  a  mingled  cup, 
Fur  Z  ion's  haughty  impious  foes, 
Who  .  down  and  we'll  go  up, 

The  God  of  Israel,  we  oppose* 

G. 
I'll  force  the  vial  of  my  woe 
Upon  blaspheming  lips  to  Btayj 

An d  all  the  wicked  then  shall  know, 
I  am  the  God  of  Calvai  \ .

Let  me  go ;  for  the  day  breaketh. — Gen.  xxxii.  20 

1. 

On  the  mount  of  Galecd  a  patriarch  prayed, 
In  the  night  of  his  trouble  and  fear ; 
'Twas  the  battle  of  faith,  and  the  mourner  pre- 
vailed ; 
But  his  conflict  and  grief  were  severe. 

2. 
Deep  called  unto  deep,  as  the  suppliant  strove, 
And  the  night  breezes  echoed  his  cries ; 
"  Let  me  go,"  said  his  Lord,  it  is  time  I  remove, 
For  the  morning  appears  in  the  skies. 

3. 
Ah !  then  what  assurance  of  faith  was  supplied, 
And  power  with  Abraham's  Lord ; 
"  I'll  not  let  thee  go,"  whatever  betide, 
Till  I'm  blest  with  the  life-giving  word. 

4. 
This  ardor  of  faith  sealed  the  tear  sprinkled  prayer, 
It  prevailed  with  the  Holy  and  True, 
And  Jacob  then  heard  his  Redeemer  declare, 
What  faith  in  his  body  can  do. 

5. 
As  a  prince  thou  prevaiiest  with  God  and  with  mens 
By  a  name  shall  thy  blessing  be  known ; —

And  Israel's  reign  with  God !

'Tis  ushered  in  by  judgment, 

For  my  abused  grace, 

Demands  a  righteous  settlement, 

With  a  rebellious  race  ; 

That  scorn  both  Law  and  Gospel, 

To  keep  and  to  obey, 

Their  eyes  are  clos'd  by  sins  dark  spell, 

They  turn  from  truth  away. 

4. 

Like  Noah's  dove  my  spirit 
Shall  take  a  distant  flight, 
Mankind  will  then  inherit, 
The  terrors  of  a  night — 
More  terrible  than  Egypt, 
When  her  first-born  were  slain, 
Because  it  is  the  recompense 
Of  spite  to  Christ  the  Lamb ! 

5. 

For  that  awakes  my  ire, 
To  execute  decrees  ; 
I'm  a  consuming  fire, 
To  Jesus'  enemies :

I'll  spare  not  Jew  Of  (icntile. 
Who  still  persist  in  *in, 
Bui  on  the  faithful  rests  my  smile, 
And  rictory  they  shall  win.

For  when  the  cloud  is  bursting 
Upon  a  frighted  world  ; 
The  cup  of  fury's  pouring, 
And  fiery  hail-stones  hurl'd — 
Among  the  guilty  nations, 
Who  dare  to  mock  the  bands, 
Of  Father,  Son,  and  Spirit, 
Pll  spare  the  truth-washed  hands. 

7. 

The  souls  who  hold  my  covenant 
In  that  tremendous  hour, 
Although  a  feeble  remnant, 
Shall  glorify  my  power  : — 
I'll  bring  them  through  the  fires, 
I'll  guard  them  through  the  seas, 
I  answer  their  desires, 
1  peace. 

8. 
The  meek,  the  low,  the  humble, 
Shall  call  up  o  th  •  Lord, 


(    44    ) 

In  time  of  Jacob's  trouble, 
And  kiss  his  powerful  rod. 
But  proud  and  haughty  rebels, 
Will  have  no  leave  to  pray, 
Except  to  rocks  and  mountains 
In  that  tremendous  day. 


And  thou  shalt  put  therein  the  ark  of  the  testimony,  and  cover 
the  ark  with  the  vail. — Exodus  xl.  3. 

1. 

Three  types  of  Israel's  Shiloh  here, 

To  Moses,  God  did  show ; 
The  tabernacle  it  is  clear, 

God's  presence  is  below. 

2. 

The  Ark  is  Christ,  in  whom  combine, 

The  cedar,  and  the  gold, 
His  natures  human  and  divine, 

By  faith  I  now  behold. 

3. 
The  Vail  that  shades  the  holy  ark, 

Is  Mary's  blessed  child, 
To  Pharisee,  and  Scribes  'tis  dark, 

To  deists  vain  and  wild. 


(     45     ) 

4. 

But  God  the  Father  owned  the  Vail, 

In  Jordan's  flowing  tide  ; 
And  when  it  rent  by  death's  assail, 

His  Name  was  glorified. 

5. 

The  rent  was  awful,  but  it  gave 

Back  to  his  Maker's  love, 
Man,  whom  the  mystic  Vail  could  save, 

And  all  the  curse  remove. 

6. 

0  !  Calvary,  thou  hallowed  place, 
Dear  is  thy  name  to  me, 

For  there  by  faith  I  see  the  face 
Of  mercy,  rich  and  free. 

7. 

1  listen  while  the  rending  Vail, 

Declares  the  work  is  done ; 
M:in  is  redeemed,  O  !  wondrous  tale, 
Immortal  life  is  won. 

B. 

And  lo !  the  Vail  again  appears, 
Complete  from  Joseph's  tomb, 

And  Mary's  bid  to  wipe  her  tears, 
And  say,  "  The  Lord  is  come." 


(    46     ) 

9. 
To  Heaven  on  flying  clouds  'tis  borne, 

The  Ark  it  covers  still  ; 
And  waits  Millennium's  glorious  morn 

To  stand  on  Olives'  hill. 

10. 

O  !  rapturous  thought !  that  blissful  scene 

Will  shortly  burst  to  view, 
And  then,  without  a  cloud  between, 

I  hope  my  Lord  to  view. 

11. 

Great  antitype,  with  glory  crowned, 

Blest  tabernacle  come, 
Ark  for  the  tribes,  of  old  renowned, 

Thine  Israel's  Vail  become. 

12. 

Then  God  in  Christ  will  reconcile, 

Zion's  dispersed  band, 
On  Joseph's  outcasts  Heaven  will  smile, 

And  bring  to  Canaan's  land. 

13. 

Glory  and  honor  to  the  name 

Of  Jesus  Christ  the  Lord, 
Israel's  immortal  paschal  Lamb, 

The  Vail,  the  Ark,  the  Word.

Hark  !  'tis  Shiloh  that  calls  thee,  O  Zion!  to  rise, 

And  fly  to  the  arms  of  thy  Love, 
Thy  Redeemer  is  come,  lie  descends  from  the  skies, 

And  he  calls  thee  his  undefiled  Dove. 

2. 

How  blissful  the  anthem  he  chaunts  to  his  spouse, 
"  Come  away  from  all  sorrow  and  fear  : 

The  rain  it  is  over,  and  Wintery  snows 
Are  gone,  and  the  Spring  doth  appear."

And  shout  for  the  Star  that  on  Bethlehem  shone, 

That  Judah  to  Jesus  can  sing. 
6. 
The  withered  fig-tree  is  blossoming  fair, 

"  The  vines  shed  their  odours  around," 
All  nature  is  joyful,  and  sorrowful  care

I  will  not  let  thee  go,  except  thou  bless  me. — Gen.  xxxii.  26. 

1. 

I  am  thine  holy  Saviour,  I'm  bought  by  thy  death! 

Thou  art  mine,  for  my  soul  thou  hast  bled  ! 
Oh !  bless  me  Thou  Precious,  with  heavenly  wealth, 

For  to  earth  and  its  treasures  I'm  dead ! 
2. 
Let  Thee  go?    ah  I  cannot,  I  hold  Thee  by  faith. 

Let  Thee  go  ?  nay,  I  will  not,  O  Lord  ; 
Till  the  sin  of  my  nature,  is  come  to  its  death, 

Destroyed  by  Thy  powerful  Word  ! 
3. 
For  sin  is  the  monster  that  pierced  thy  pure  soul, 

In  gloomy  Geth-sem-a-ne's  vale  ; 


(  «  ) 

It  caused  Thcc  up  Calvary,  mournful  to  toil, 

And  aloud  oo  the  cross  to  bewail ! 
4. 
Sin  pierced  thy  dear  temples,  with  cruel  mock  thorn, 

Those  temples  were  fairer  than  Heaven; 
By  sin-loving  mortals  thy  body  was  torn, 

Cruel  malice  and  wickedness  leaven  ! 

5. 
Shall  this  foe  to  my  Jests  have  room  in  my  breast  I 

Gin]  forbid  !  all  within  me  doth  cry  ! 
From  wrestling  with  mercy,  I  never  will  rest, 

Till  the  indwelling  enemy  die. 
6. 
Hope  whispers  in  dulcet,  and  heaven  made  sound, 

And  faith  points  to  Calvary's  brow  ; 
Hope  says  that  her  anchor  in  Jesus  is  found, 

Faith  declares  I  am  conqueror  now. 

7. 

Ah  !  how  can  it  be  that  a  sinner  so  vile, 

old  thus  be  admitted  to  plead, 
With  God  as  a  man,  and  believe  he  doth  smile, 
And  engage  to  supply  all  my  need. 

8. 
(J  !  'tis  marvellous  mercy,  and  infinite  grace, 
That  hath  borne  with  my  chattering  moan, 
E 


(    50    ) 

It  is  pity  and  love  that  hath  fixed  my  place, 

At  the  foot  of  Emanuel's  throne. 
9. 
I'll  continue  my  cries  while  the  shadows  of  night 

Are  dispersed  by  thy  pardoning  voice  ; 
I'll  not  let  thee  go,  though  the  morning  bring  light. 

Till  in  triumphant  love  I  rejoice. 


Psalm  cxxxvii.  1. 
1. 

Far  from  Salem's  lofty  towers, 
Far  away  from  Shiloh's  bowers, 
In  a  heathen  tyrant's  borders, 

Judah's  captive  children  wept ; 
On  the  banks  of  flowing  Tygrus, 
Or  by  willow-wreathed  Euphrates, 

"  Zion's  harp  in  sorrow  slept." 
2. 
Babel's  noisy  sons  molested, 
Praying  souls  their  hearts  detested, 
Whom  by  fire  and  sword  they  wasted, 

Laying  Salem's  altar  low ; 
Heathen  mock  the  exiles  anguish, 
Try  their  faith  in  God  to  vanquish, 

Whom  they  seek  to  end  their  woe. 


(    W    ) 

& 

But  in  vain  their  foes  require,

Por  tht  sacrificial  lire, 

Glows  within  the  captives  breasts: 

Faithful  to  the  mount  of  God, 

Where  his  holy  temple  stood, 

And  Jehovah  promise  rests. 

1. 
How  shall  we  raise  the  melody, 
Or  channt  the  sacred  symphony, 
While  we  hear  the  tyranny, 

Of  Shiloh's  foe  in  heathen  lands  ? 
()  God  !  thou  dost  not  so  command  us ; 
Behold  onr  harps  on  willow  branches, 

Hung  by  feeble  captive  hands. 

5. 
It'  we  forget  thy  holy  mountain, 

•  to  thirst  for  Shiloh's  fountain, 
Our  right  hand  may  lose  her  cunning, 
An  the  lyre  no  more  ; 

n  the  city  of  Jehovah, 
We  BhaH  not  in  love  remember, 
May  oar  power  to  speak  be  o'er. 


(     52    ) 

6. 
O  !  thou  sovereign  God  of  Jacob, 
Look  upon  the  dreadful  havock 
Made  by  Edom  on  thy  Isaac, 

Abraham's  son,  and  Shiloh's  heir  ; 
Bare  thine  arm,  and  Babel  prostrate 
Drown,  in  floods  the  base  apostate, 

And  thy  Glorious  name  declare ! 

7. 
Blest !  O  blest  is  he  that  cometh, 
And  with  fiery  hail  devoureth, 
Edom,  and  his  pride  o'erpowereth, 

In  Jerusalem's  happy  day  ; 
Dashing  like  a  potter's  vessel, 
Babylon  high  to  lowest  hell, 

And  his  royal  sceptre  sway. 


Unto  you  that  fear  my  name,  &e. — Malachi  iv.  2.

For  David's  throne,  the  King  ordained.

Close  by  my  glittering  two-edged  sword  ; 
No  man  can  fathom  it  but  I, 

The  uncreated — Mighty  Lord  ! 

8. 
My  Revelation  will  display, 

A  Name  within  the  Name  without, 
And  Heaven  in  silence  owns  its  sway, 

But  ne'er  can  know  nor  find  it  out. 

9. 

Then  blessed  they  whose  spirits  fear, 
The  holy  mystery,  Three  in  One, 

To  such  I  rise,  and  will  appear 

With  healing  power,  the  Righteous  Sun. 

10. 
By  gospel  grace  to  perfect  love, 

Beneath  my  watchful  care  they'll  grow ; 
And  die  for  me  their  faith  to  prove 

Their  souls  were  washed  on  Calvary's  brow.

But  not  with  dark  and  slavish  dread,

Till  all  the  sacred  hours  were  flown, 

5. 
Celestial  spirits  watchM  the  tomb, 

And  gave  the  signal  for  his  rise  : 
Fair  Gabriel  sat  upon  the  stone, 

His  robe  as  snow,  like  flame  his  eyes ! 

6. 
And  early  on  that  glorious  morn, 

Two  Marys  and  Salome  came, 
To  weep  before  that  hallowed  urn, 

Where  Joseph  laid  the  lowly  Lamb !

Their  pallid  cheek,  the  dim  wept  eye, 

The  angel  saw,  and  sweetly  said, 
"  Fear  not,"  the  Lord  for  whom  ye  sigh, 

Hath  left  this  mansion  of  the  dead.

Go,  faithful  women,  go  declare, 

To  Jesus'  scholars,  Peter  too, 
Their  Saviour,  their  Redeemer  dear,

With  eager  haste  returned  to  seek,

Mary  beheld  the  crucified  ! 

11. 

Then  did  this  faithful  woman  bend, 
To  kiss  the  nail-pierced,  sacred  feet; 

Jesus  said  nay,  I'll  not  ascend, 
Till  I  the  ten  and  Peter  meet. 

12. 

Go  say  to  them,  the  Master  lives, 
Whom  all  forsook  and  one  denied,

Redemption  !  O  !  the  blissful  sound, 
For  Adam's  fallen,  helpless  nice, 

In  Jesus  Christ  the  pearl  is  found, 
A  price,  which  bought  us  in  to  Grao 

The  Grace  of  God  in  Christ  is  seen, 
And  no  where  else  for  sinful  man ; 
The  wall,  the  tower  that  lies  between 
Hell  and  our  souls,  is  Judah's  Lamb. 
3. 
Judah's  !  alas  !  I  may  not  say  ! 
Bui  God's  provided  by  his  love; 
ssed  by  Abraham  in  his  day, 
And  worshipped  by  the  hosts  above. 
4. 
Highly  exalted  is  his  Name, 

And  person  too  at  God's  right  hand, 

ill  the  sacred  scars  proclaim, 
Be  paid  to  justice  God's  demand. 
'>. 
I  toce  did  he  bow  his  head  in  death, 

Opprcst,  abused  by  cruel  fiends, 
To  -avc  us  from  the  pit  beneath, 

He  died  ; — and  God  and  mail  are  friends. 


(    60    ) 

6. 
O  !  may  our  souls  embrace  the  word 

Redemption !  in  its  first  and  last ; 
Sins  to  forgive,  and  guilt  remove. 

Come  red  men  all,  the  blessings  taste. 


Psalm  lii.  I  believe  is  a  description  of  Anti-Messiah-

Why  boastest  thou,  O  mighty  man, 
And  why  such  hateful  mischiefs  plan  ? 
'Tis  all  in  vain,  for  God  endures, 
His  power  the  throne  to  Christ  insures, 

2. 
Thy  tongue  doth  like  a  razor  pass, 
For  a  short  time  o'er  Jesus'  face  ; 
Blaspheming  truth  with  malice  high, 
And  teaching  all  the  world  a  lie. 

3. 
In  deep  deceit  thy  plans  are  laid, 
On  satan's  power  thy  mind  is  staid  ; 
Bodily,  into  thee  is  come.

But  O  !  thy  triumphing  is  short, 
The  heel  of  Jesus  thou  mayest  hurt,

And  always  watch  to  ceaseless  prayer.

I  was  bought  by  thy  death  ! 
Thou  art  mine,  for  my  soul  thou  hast  bled ; 
Thou  must  bless  me,  Thou  Precious, 
With  sin's  total  death, 
Who  hath  suffered  for  sin  in  my  stead. 
2. 
Let  thee  go  ?  Ah  I  cannot ! 
I  hold  thee  by  faith. 
Let  thee  go  ?  Nay  I  will  not,  O  Lord ; 
Till  my  sin,  every  jot 

Hath  resigned  its  breath,

The  perishing,  guilty  like  me  !

O  !  my  Saviour  forgive  ! 
Should  he  spurn  me,  I'll  not  let  him  go ;

And  on  Jesus  believe,

MANASSEH. 

Dear  Jesus,  help  thy  little  ones  to  pray, 
Themselves  deny,  and  humbly  bear  thy  cross ; 
Honor  thy  law,  and  walk  the  narrow  way, 
Endure  their  grief,  and  hope  to  gain  by  loss ; 
Expect  thy  coming  as  a  mighty  Conqueror, 
Vice  to  destroy,  and  virtue  save  forever.

PILGRI3I  STRANGER THE  DESOLATE. 

Eager  I  listen  for  the  solemn  call, 
"  Lift  up  ye  gates,  ye  everlasting  doors," 
And  let  the  rolling  stone  on  Edom  fall, 
Stamping  the  image  on  his  threshing  floors, 
Till  every  foe  to  Truth  is  stripped  of  power, 
In  Babel's  awful !  Zion's  happy  hour  ! 


A  WITNESS. 

Nothing,  O !  Thou  most  High,  is  hard  for  thee, 
Give  then  the  epilogue  to  worthless  me. 
For  Thee  I  pray,  my  vital  blood  to  shed, 
Adored  Redeemer,  Israel's  living  Head. 
This  sacred  boon  I  ask  with  all  submission, 
Holy  Messiah,  to  thy  free  election.

Enrol,  even  now,  with  penitents  my  name, 
Redeemer  merciful,  and  Saviour  kind; 
The  smoking  tlax,  ()  rouse  to  heavenly  flame, 
Hasten  thy  work,  thy  Adversary  hind  ; 
Enlarge  my  heart,  prepare  it  for  thy  glory, 
Parent  of  orphans,  Israel's  Shiloh  Holy. 

10. 
Resolved  I  am  at  Jesus  feet  to  lie, 
In  patient  hope  and  persevering  prayer; 
Never  from  Calvary's  mournful  colors  fly. 
Come  on,  what  will,  I'll  cast  on  God  my  care  ; 
Ease  I  have  never  known,  I  bless  Jehovah, 
O  !  then  at  last,  I'll  readier  be  to  sufTer ! 

11. 
Fear  not,  poor  red  men,  Jesus  soon  will  come, 
Prince  over  princes,  and  the  King  of  kings  ; 
Elijah  will  prepare  you  to  go  home, 
And  angels  bear  you  on  their  golden  wings; 
Celestial  crowns  gemmed  with  the  love  of  Jesus, 
Each  faithful  soul  receives  from  Shiloh  glorious.

A  song  for  Judah. 
1. 
Come,  let  us  return  to  the  land  of  our  birth, 
And  weep  for  our  city  polluted  and  low ; 
Let  us  hasten  to  mourn  over  hallowed  earth, 
Where  our  temple  once  shone,  and  our  fathers  did 

bow. 

2. 

For  the  statutes  of  God,  our  Redeemer,  declare, 

That  salvation  to  Jacob  from  Zion  shall  rise  ; 

Jerusalem  still  is  reserved  by  his  care, 

For  the  tribes  of  the  Holy,  the  Just,  and  the  Wise. 

3. 
O  !  why  do  we  tarry  ?  O  !  why  do  we  stay 
In  lands  where  our  prophets  ne'er  spoke  for  the  Lord; 
In  lands  where  to  Israel  is  given  no  sway, 
Where  no  oracle  comforts  with  life-giving  Word  ? 

4. 
We  have  compassed  the  earth,  but  repose  is  denied, 
To  our  exiled  bosoms,  the  banished — the  sad — 
In  vain,  ah  !  in  vain,  do  we  rove  far  and  wide, 
While  absent  from  Zion,  shall  Judah  be  glad? 


(     8<     ) 
5, 

No  never  ^hall  joy  that  is  solid  and  true, 
Or  heaven-born  peace  be  restored  by  the  Lord, 
Till   our  eyes  .-hall  with  penitent  weeping  review, 
The  mountain — the  citj  — and  altar  of  God. 

6. 
Let  w  rise — lets  us  go — our  election  insure, 
Tor  the  promises — covenants — remain  with  us  still ; 
If  we  turn  to  our  God,  he  will  be  to  us  pure, 
But  if  froward,  his  judgments  us  surely  will  kill ! 


A  Song  for  the  outcasts  of  Israel. 

1. 

Wahcondah  !  see  our  mournful  state, 
Thou  great  Manitto  !  O  behold  ! 
Jehovah  !  we  are  desolate, 
Lost  from  thy  once  admired  fold. 
Great  Spirit !  hear  our  cries,  we  pray, 
And  turn  our  midnight  into  day  ! 

'2. 
In  desert  wastes  we  wildly  roam, 
Sniftered — peeled — and  driven  out, 
A  ipoil,  a  prey,  ah  !  hapless  doom  ! 
Surely  our  sin  hath  found  us  out  ; 


(    88    ) 

Our  fathers  trespass  and  our  own, 
We  must  in  gloomy  forests  mourn. 

3. 
Long,  very  long,  the  Osage  cries, 
Since  we  have  seen  a  happy  day  ; 
Sweet  peace  our  aching  bosom  flies, 
We  walk  in  sorrow's  thorny  way ; 
The  plaint  is  echoed  far  and  wide, 
Where'er  the  outcast  doth  abide. 

4. 

How  long?  how  long?  thou  Spirit  Great, 
Shall  we  in  darkness  rove  from  thee  ? 
When  shall  release  from  darkest  fate, 
Be  issued  by  thy  blest  decree  ? 
That  angels  from  thy  bright  abode 
Shall  bear  us  home  to  Israel's  God  ? 

5. 

O  !  hasten  on  the  happy  time, 
When  we,  the  ransomed  of  the  Lord, 
Shall  in  thy  presence  rise  and  shine, 
According  to  the  sacred  Word. 
When  all  our  tribes  shall  meet  to  bless, 
Yohewah  Israel's  Righteousness.

A  Hymn  for  Indian  ministers  of  the  glorious  gospel  ofMeflriah. 
1. 

O  !  Thou  who  died  that  I  might  live, 
Let  me  declare  thy  gracious  Name, 

Call  on  my  brethren  to  helieve, 

On  Christ ;  and  cry  "  Behold  the  Lamb  !" 

2. 

I'll  say,  "repent,  the  kingdom's  nigh, 

Our  Shiloh  hastens  from  afar, 
On  wings  of  pitying  love  he'll  fly, 

And  come,  the  Indian's  "  Morning  Star." 

3. 
I'll  tell  them  whiskey  to  forsake, 
Crying,  'tis  satan's  bait  to  kill, 
O  !  Choctaw,  Cherokee  come  take, 
Pure  water  from  the  forest  rill- 

4. 
Ill  preach  about  thy  Blessed  Word, 

In  which  the  weakest  soul  may  find, 
Comfort  and  strength  to  bear  the  rod, 
And  grace  to  cheer  the  fainting  mind.

A  fortress,  rock,  and  mighty  tower, 
For  thee,  poor  Indian,  yea — for  thee  !

O !  I  will  preach,  and  weep,  and  pray, 

The  forest  echo  me  will  join, 
To  point  my  fellows  to  the  day, 

When  Shiloh  will  on  Zion  shine. 


Luke  xxiv.  36. 

1. 

"  Peace  be  to  you,"  the  Saviour  said, 

Unto  his  mourning  band  ; 
Behold  I'm  risen  from  the  dead, 

And  here  before  you  stand. 
2. 
O  !  see  my  pierced  hands  and  feet, 

'Tis  I,  your  Master  dear ; 
My  children  "  have  you  any  meat," 

We'll  feed  together  here. 

3. 
Ah!  with  what  wonder  and  delight, 

They  listened  to  his  word  ; 
Yet  scarce  believed  their  ear  or  sight, 

That  he  was  Christ  the  Lord. 


(  1)1   ) 

4. 

Handle  me,  cried  the  lowly  Lamb, 
My  feet — my  hands — my  side, 

A  spirit  ne'er  had  such  a  frame 
Of  flesh  and  bone  beside. 

5. 

These  are  the  words  I  spake  to  you, 

Before  my  painful  death  ; 
That  prophets,  Moses,  David  too, 

My  mission  wrote  by  faith. 

6. 
That  every  word  should  come  to  pass, 

And  now  your  risen  Lord  ; 
Confirms  again  the  truth  and  grace, 

Of  Israel's  gracious  God. 

7. 
Thus  it  is  written  and  behoved, 

Christ  to  endure  the  curse ; 
Despise  the  shame,  and  triumph  gain, 

By  dying  on  the  cross. 

8. 
Yet  not  be  held  in  death's  embrace, 

Or  see  corruption's  power ; 
But  rise  to  save  his  Church  by  grace, 

In  God's  appointed  hour. 


(    92    ) 

9. 
Afflicted  red  men  'twa3  for  you, 

That  Jesus  Christ  appeared  ; 
To  save  you  he  will  come  again, 

And  bring  his  own  reward. 
10. 
Then  fear  not  poverty  or  pain, 

Nor  dread  the  gasping  grave, 
Behold  the  dying,  living  Lamb, 

He  will  the  Indian  save. 


Ye  shall  make  no  idols,  nor  graven  image. — Lev.  xxvi.  1. 

1. 

Thus  spake  the  Lord,  the  great,  the  dreadful  God, 
In  ancient  time,  and  Israel  heard  the  sound  ; 
From  Sinai's  summit  came  the  sacred  word, 
"  I  am  your  God,"  my  glory  shall  abound  : 
Therefore,  O  sons  of  Israel,  hear  my  covenant, 
Worship  no  other  God,  is  my  commandment. 

2. 
No  graven  image  make,  no  senseless  idol  form, 
Thy  God  abhors  the  sight,  'tis  satan's  foulest  plan, 
Against  my  church  to  raise  a  dire  storm, 
And  rouse  my  holy  jealousy  in  dreadful  flame :

Jew  wept — John  xi.  96. 
1. 

He  wept  when  even  death's  defeat, 

Proclaim'd  him  God  below ; 
And  I  will  weep  and  bathe  his  feet, 

With  tears  of  bitter  woe. 
2. 
His  tears  were  drops  of  silver  dew, 

Distill'd  from  mercy's  throne  ; 
Each  as  a  pearl  of  purest  hue, 

Sparkled  o'er  Lazarus'  urn. 
3. 
But  mine  are  weak,  and  poor  and  mean, 

Unfit  for  God  to  see  ; 
Bathe  them  in  thine  and  cleanse  their  stain, 

Thou  Lamb  that  bled  for  me. 
.i. 
I  need  thy  tears,  a  Lazarus  I, 

Dead  to  the  world,  forgot  ; 
() !   Jesus,  to  thy  Name  1  llv, 

And  plead — deny  me  not: 


(    94    ) 

5. 

Deny  me  not  thy  pity  now, 
Commiserate  my  grief; 

See  at  thy  cross  I  willing  bow, 
And  plead  for  quick  relief. 

6. 
Call  out  my  spirit  from  her  grave, 

Speak  life  into  my  soul ; 
In  tears  and  blood  the  sinner  lave, 

And  then  pronounce  me  whole. 

7. 
Then  shall  my  tears  be  sanctified, 

Flowing  from  perfect  love  ; 
To  Jesus,  once  the  crucified 

Now  Christ  the  Lord  above. 


Hide  me  under  the  shadow  of  thy  wings. — Ps.  xvii.  8. 

1, 

Is  the  day  of  vengeance  breaking, 
O'er  a  thankless,  wretched  world  ? 

The  year  of  recompenses  opening, 

When  judgments'  colors  are  unfurled  ? 


(  m  ) 

2 

Will  they  wave  o'er  guilty  Edom, 

Mourning  Zioif  s  cruel  foe  ! 
And  the  seven  vials  pouring, 

Lay  the  haughty  scorners  low ! 

3. 

O  !  thou  meek,  insulted  Mercy, 
Hast  thou  hid  thy  Spirit  cease, 

Souls  to  call  to  heaven  and  glory, 
B]  thy  passion,  Prince  of  peace? 

4. 
Lowly  Lamb,  and  precious  Saviour, 

Is  thine  anger  roused  to  flame  ! 
?Gainst  despisers  of  thy  favor, 

Who  neglect  thy  saving  Name? 

5. 

Coming  art  thou  to  astonish 
Zion's  foes,  and  careless  souls  ? 

Every  idol  to  abolish, 

Burnt  with  vengeance,  quenchless  coals  ! 

6. 
Is  it  so?  I  ask  my  spirit, 

Art  thou  sealed  by  grace,  to  God  ! 
Redeemed  thro'  Jesus  blood  and  merit, 

Canst  thou  gladly  meet  the  Lord  ? 


(    96    ) 

7. 
Lord,  I  know,  I'm  most  unworthy 

To  exalt  my  hope  so  high ; 
Hide  me,  O  Redeemer  !  holy, 

'Neath  thy  wings,  or  I  shall  die ! 
8. 
Hide  me  till  the  storm  is  over ; 

Shut  me  up  in  mercy's  breast ; 
Still  I  claim  thee  for  my  Saviour, 

And  I  hail  thee  ever  blest  ! 


A  Hymn  for  native  teachers  in  the  Indian  Sunday  Schools. 
1. 
Light  of  the  world  !  thou  Holy  One  ! 

Jesus  !  the  infant's  God  ; 
Look  down  from  Heaven  thy  lofty  throne, 
And  teach  these  babes  thy  word. 
2. 
Let  Indian  children  know  thy  Name, 

And  give  their  hearts  to  thee ; 
Hosanna,  cry  to  Christ  the  Lamb,

How  kindly  were  Judah's  babes 
Clasp'd  to  thy  tender  breast ; 


(  n  ) 

And  to  thy  holy  kingdom  scaled, 
Thine  everlasting  rest. 

4. 

How  sweet  the  doctrines  thou  didst  teach, 

When  asked  by  man  to  say  ; 
Who  will  the  highest  station  reach, 

In  the  millennial  day  1 

5. 
An  artless  infant  boy  was  called, 

And  seated  by  thy  side  ; 
Then,  Saviour,  thou  didst  say  aloud, 

This  little  one's  a  guide. 
6. 
I  called  him,  and  he  quickly  came, 

Weaned  from  his  mother's  breast ; 
The  Father  had  revealed  my  name, 

Jesus  !  the  infant's  rest. 

7. 

This  infant  feared  me  to  offend, 

But  felt  no  servile  dread  ; 
He  loves  me,  lowly  as  I  am, 

Obeys  me  as  his  Head. 

8. 
No  malice  in  his  little  heart, 
Can  kindle  fires  of  hell ; 
I 


(    98    ) 

From  envious  pride  he  feels  no  smart, 

My  love  hath  broke  the  spell. 
9. 
I  thank  my  Father,  Lord  of  all, 

His  wisdom  is  revealed, 
To  babes,  who  unto  Jesus  call, 

But  from  the  proud  concealed, 
10. 
Thus  it  hath  pleased  the  God  of  truth, 

To  order  his  decree, 
And  now  we  pray  for  Indian  youth, 

That  they  thy  face  may  see. 
11. 
Give  them  a  humble  listening  ear, 

And  memory  to  retain  ; 
The  good  their  teachers  may  declare, 

In  Jesus'  worthy  Name. 


Mark  ix.  41. 

1. 

Faith  is  the  seed  of  glory  fair  : 
When  Christ  descends  to  reign  ; 

It  works  by  love  with  tender  care, 
Remembering  Jesus'  Name. 


(  m  ) 

The  spring  of  faith  is  known  to  rise, 
With  godly,  humble  tear. 

And  joined  to  love  the  just  and  wise, 
Tho'  he  in  rags  appear. 

& 
Faith  disciplines  the  hand  and  heart, 

And  gives  a  reason  pure, 
Why  to  the  poor  she  doth  impart 

Her  goods — her  worldly  store. 

4. 
Because  to  Christ  you  do  belong, 

As  Israel's  outcast  child, 
A  little  one,  a  helpless  worm, 

By  haughty  sinners  spoiled. 

5. 

It  was  to  Israel  Jesus  spake, 
He  meant  his  "  cast  away  ;" 

Whom  to  redeem  he  came  to  make 
His  own  dear  life  a  prej  . 

6. 
Now  blest  Redeemer,  look  on  me  ! 

My  humble  ollering  own  ; 
I  dedicate  my  hymns  to  thee, 

Bless  them,  thou  Holy  One. 


(   ioo   ) 

7. 
And  let  them  cheer  the  drooping  heart, 

Revive  the  fainting  mind  ; 
To  many  a  Cherokee  impart, 

Hope  in  thy  mercy  kind. 


A  Hymn  for  Christian  Indians. 

1. 

Our  Father  !  sweetly  soothing  call, 
In  Heaven  thou  art,  as  on  a  throne ; 
Oh !  hallowed  be  thy  Name,  by  all 
Above  the  sky,  or  'neath  the  sun ! 

2. 
Thy  kingdom  come  in  mighty  power, 
And  David's  throne  receive  the  King, 
Whose  arrows  dipt  in  blood,  devour 
The  haughty  serpent's  pois'ning  sting ! 

3. 
Thy  holy  blessed  will  be  done, 
On  earth,  as  it  is  done  in  heaven  ; 
Hasten  this  work,  thou  Holy  One, 
By  thunders — trumpets — vials — seven  ! ! ! 


(     101     ) 

4. 

Our  daily  bread  we  pray  thee  give, 
For  all  the  corn  and  wheat  is  thine  ; 
And  all  of  good  we  here  receive, 
Flows  from  thy  goodness  all  divine. 

5. 

Forgive  our  sins,  our  Father  High, 
As  we  forgive  our  cruel  foes ! 
Dost  thou  not  hear  the  red  man  cry, 
At  morning's  dawn,  and  evening's  close? 

6. 
Preserve  our  fainting,  wearied  minds, 
From  sinking  in  temptation's  gloom  ; 
Where  satan  many  a  spirit  binds, 
And  bids  them  ask  an  early  tomb. 

7. 

Deliver  us  from  dark  despair, 
From  murmuring  spirits  us  redeem, 
Let  every  sort  of  evil  care, 
P>e  far  from  Jesus'  poor  red  men. 

& 
For  thine  \s  the  power,  and  grace,  and  love, 
And  thine  the  righteous  kingdom  Lord  ; 
Glory  is  thine  in  Heaven  above, 
Forever,  uncreated  Word  !  !  !

A  Doxology. 


To  God  our  Creator  be  offered  praise ; 
To  God  our  Redeemer  Alleluias  we  raise  ; 
To  God  our  reprover  and  comforter  blest, 
Be  blessings  ascribed,  as  the  guide  to  our  rest. 

A  xMaker — a  Saviour,  and  Spirit  in  one, 
God  of  the  Indians,  help  us  we  pray ; 
The  Father  to  love  and  believe  in  the  Son, 
And  always  the  Spirit  of  mercy  obey. 


.  with  God  all  things  are  possible. — Matt  xix.  26. 


1. 

Near  the  baptismal  font  in  the  coasts  of  Judea, 
Messiah  was  asked  by  a  certain  young  man, 
What  he  must  perform,  as  it  was  his  desire 
Immortality,  glory,  and  life  to  obtain  ? 


(     103     ) 

At  first  he  was  answered  from  thundering  Sinai, 
Keen  the  law  and  remember  its  dictates  are  pure ; 
I  have,  said  the  seeker  ;  what  lack  I  farther  ? 
Follow  me  said  the  Lord,  leave  thy  gold  for  the  poor. 

2. 
Ah  I  this  touched  a  string  that  vibrated  to  sorrow, 
The  worldling  his  idol  could  never  forego, 
To  follow  so  humble,  so  lowly  a  Master, 
So  returned  to  a  world  that  is  mortgaged  to  woe. 
The  Lord  then  addressed  his  disciples,  by  saying, 
How  hardly  the  rich  my  salvation  can  gain — 
A  camel  may  pass  through  the  eye  of  a  needle, 
Far  sooner  than  rich  men  the  Kingdom  obtain. 

3. 
T\v  as  a  terrible  word  ;  but  mercy  then  added, 
Altho'  with  poor  mortals  the  doctrine  is  true, 
Yet  the  work  may  be  compassed  at  once  by  the 

Godhead, 
And  power  divine  lust  for  gold  may  subdue. 
No  heart  is  so  wedded  to  earth's  sordid  treasure. 
But  the  word  of  the  Lord  can  effect  its  divorce  ; 
No  mortal  so  eager  for  sensual  pleasure, 
Hut  infinite  Mercy  can  alter  his  course. 

4. 
Rich  sinners,  Oh!  ponder  the  words  of  your  Saviour, 

And  tremble  to  think  that  your  silver  and  gold, 


(     104    ) 

May  kindle  in  judgment  unquenchable  fire, 
And  rack  you  with  torture,  that  cannot  be  told. 
Ye  poor,  be  content,  with  coarse  fare  and  mean 

lodging, 
Remember  our  precious  Redeemer  was  so ; 
Barley  bread  for  his  supper,  dewy  grass  for  his 

pillow, 
Did  Jesus  complain  of  his  poverty  ?  No ! 

5. 

Ah  !  let  us  give  thanks  to  our  heavenly  Father, 
He  hath  closen  the  poor,  who  believe  and  obey, 
To  inherit  a  kingdom  of  glory  forever, 
And  receive  their  good  things  in  Millennial  Day  ! 
In  white  robes  arrayed,  that  e'en  angels  admire, 
And  crowns  such  as  princes  on  earth  never  wore, 
They  walk  with  the  Lamb  in  his  hearenly  bower, 
And  glory  to  Jesus,  they  shout  evermore ! 


The  Widow's  Prayer. 

I. 

The  widow's  prayer  of  faith,  exceeds 
In  power  and  weight,  a  mount  of  gold ; 
"  My  God  !  she  cries,  behold  the  deeds 
Of  pity  to  one  poor  and  old ;" 


(  m  ) 

Shine,  Lord,  upon  them  night  and  day, 
My  helpers  kind,  protect,  1  pray. 

2. 
This  prayer  is  sweet  in  Jesus  ear, 
It  mingles  with  celestial  songs, 
Perfumed  with  gratitude's  soft  tear, 
Its  meed  to  charity  belongs  ; 
And  angels  joyfully  attend, 
The  pillow  of  a  widow's  friend. 

3. 

A  widow  who  on  God  relies, 

Trusting  alone  in  sovereign  grace, 

Is  precious  to  the  just  and  wise, 

And  he  will  show  a  smiling  face  ; 

To  such  as  tiy  her  griefs  to  heal, 

And  stamp  their  alms  with  friendship's  seal. 


But  woe  to  haughty  sons  of  pride, 
Who  from  the  holy  widows  turn, 
Or  with  unfeeling  rudeness  chide, 
A  fellow-being  doomed  to  mourn  : 
Her  partner  dead,  her  prospects  lost, 
All  earthly  hopes  and  wishes  crost. 


(     10(5    ) 

1. 

Known  unto  God  is  every  thought 
That  glances  through  my  breast ; 
His  searching  spirit  oft  hath  sought, 
To  bring  me  to  the  test, 
Of  thinking  nothing  of  myself 
And  deep  in  dust  to  lay, 
Of  every  other  hope  bereft, 
But  mournful  Calvary. 

2. 
Sometimes  I've  thought  myself  too  mean 
To  claim  salvation  pure ; 
Sometimes  I've  thought  (alas  !  how  vain) 
Of  heaven  and  bliss  I'm  sure : 
Uneven  thoughts,  unequal  ways, 
Have  oft  the  Spirit  grieved, 
When  he  hath  come  with  cleansing  grace, 
And  would  my  soul  have  healed. 

3. 

Oh  !  that  I  now  might  cease  to  think 

Of  aught  but  Christ  my  Lord, 

Into  my  native  nothing  sink, 

And  then  be  born  of  God  : 

Die — and  be  buried  in  the  tomb, 

Where  my  Redeemer  lay, 


(     10?     ) 

Rl86  into  Jesus'  life,  and   bloom 

A  plant  of  charity. 

4. 

Then  every  thought  should  captive  be, 

To  constant,  perfect  love, 

From  wanderings  vain  my  heart  be  free, 

Sealed  up  to  God  above. 

Like  a  weaned  child  my  soul  would  rest, 

From  pride  and  anger  pure  ; 

With  meekness  even  calmness  blest, 

Unto  the  end  endure. 

5. 

And  then  be  saved  to  stand  before 

My  Saviour,  Christ  the  Lord, 

When  he  shall  come  arrayed  in  power, 

According  to  his  Word. 

The  time  is  short,  my  soul  I  drop 

Thee  into  Jesus  now  ; 

Thy  breath,  old  self,  this  instant  stop, 

In  death  let  nature  bow.

(     108    ) 

Gives  me  Mary's  weeping  love, 
Sends  the  witness  from  above : 
Now  I  wait  upon  the  Lord, 
Signed  by  Calvary,  sealed  to  God. 

2. 
O  !  how  careful  must  I  be, 
From  a  wrinkle  to  be  free : 
Grace'  free  agent,  holy  live, 
Moments  jealous  to  retrieve  ; 
Constantly  my  Lord  obey, 
Softly  walk  the  narrow  way. 

3. 
Draw  each  breath  in  ceaseless  prayer, 
Self  deny  with  watchful  care ; 
Buckle  on  my  armour  tight, 
Fight  for  Christ  with  all  my  might ; 
Let  my  words  and  actions  prove, 
Self  is  lost  in  Jesus  love. 


The  contrite  heart. 

1. 

The  contrite  heart  bewails  its  sin 
As  foe  to  God,  the  Holy  One ; 

It  cries  at  Jesus  feet  "  unclean," 

And  weeping  flies  to  mercy's  throne. 


(   fob  )

It  sues  for  grace  to  cleanse  the  guilt 
That  lies  upon  a  trembling  >  ul, 

Owning  the  blood  on  Calvary  spilt, 
Able  to  make  the  sinner  whole. 

3. 
It  OWDf  the  Gospel  doctrine  just,

While  faith  receives  a  rich  reward.

O !  give  me  then  the  contrite  heart, 

Which  Jesus  and  his  angels  bless, 
Believing  God  will  power  impart 

To  dwell  in  "  Christ,  my  Righteousness 


For  a  tempted  soul.    Written  at  Philadelphia,  1835. 

1. 

Dark  is  the  way  I  go, 

My  daily  portion  woe, 
And  nature  frail  is  ready  to  despair  ; 

Tears  are  my  sad  repast, 

And  sighs  my  vitals  waste, 
I  sink  in  muddy  streams  of  hopeless  care ! 
2. 

Oh  !  why  is  this  ah  why  ! 

My  spirit  oft  doth  cry 
That  I  am  thus  deserted  and  forlorn  ? 

Surely  I  fear  the  Lord, 

I  love  his  sacred  Word, 
Adore  his  Name,  and  o'er  my  follies  mourn ! 

3. 
Then  why  ?  but  hark  !  my  soul, 
Thy  sorrows  now  control, 


(  111  ) 

For  God  commands  by  Jesus  Christ  His  Son, 

Accept  the  gospel  \  oke, 

And  take  the  body  broke 
On  Calvary's  mount  for  evils  thou  hast  done  ! 

4. 

Except  thou  dost  obey, 

And  walk  the  suffering  way, 
With  Israel's  Holy  One  thou  hast  no  part, 

For  Jesus'  life  below, 

Was  marked  by  bitter  woe, 
Such  woe  as  never  pierced  another  heart. 

5. 

If  I  a  pilgrim  rove, 

So  did  my  Saviour  move, 
From  place  to  place,  the  lowly  Son  of  man ; 

The  birds  and  foxes  too 

At  night  knew  where  to  go, 
But  not  the  meek,  the  lovely,  holy  Lamb  ! 

6. 
Such  was  my  Saviour's  fate, 
Eoeoinpaned  round  with  hate 
And  scorn  of  wicked  men  and  devils  too; 
At  last  for  me  he  died, 
Lnd  then  they  pierced  his  side, 
That  mercy's  balmy  streams  tor  me  might  flow. 


(     H2    ) 

7. 

O  !  cease  my  heart  to  grieve, 

And  thy  complainings  leave, 
For  winds  to  waft  along  oblivion's  shore, 

There  bury  murmur's  sigh, 

Forgotten,  silent  lie, 
And  self  repine,  and  fret,  and  grieve  no  more  ! 


Temptations  I  must  bear, 

Remembering  who  endure 
Are  blest,  and  to  the  brightest  gold  compared  : 

Such  are  like  Jesus  too, 

And  shall  his  glory  view, 
As  Paul,  taught  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  declared. 

9. 

Help  me,  O  Saviour  dear, 

My  little  bark  to  steer, 
As  o'er  the  sea  of  trouble  I  must  sail  ; 

Let  not  my  soul  despond, 

But  stretch  her  faith  beyond 
E'en  Jordan's  wave,  to  Canaan's  lovely  vale  ! 

10. 
I  will  depend  on  God, 
And  trust  his  sacred  word, 


(     113    ) 

He  that  believes  confounded  ne'er  shall  be  ; 
Away  then  unbelief, 
Be  still  thou  selfish  grief, 

My  Saviour  !  hear,  I  give  myself  to  thee  ! 


Who  is  this  that  Cometh  I — Isaiah  Ixiii.  1. 

1. 
I  lark  !   hark  !  O,  my  soul  !   to  the  cry 
Thai  pierces  through  Palestine's  gloom; 

tiding  from  yonder  blue  sky, 
Messiah,  the  Shiloh  will  come  ! 
Ah  !   ponder  the  trance  of  the  seer, 
And  pray  for  instructions  divine  ; 
May  hap  the  fulfilment  is  near, 
And  judgment  is  laid  to  the  line  : 

2. 
Remember,  he'll  not  come  again, 
In  lowliness,  sighing,  and  woe ; 
To  be  mocked  and  rejected,  and  slain, 
On  Calvary's  hallowed  brow  ! 
\\\<  glorified  person  is  free 
From  the  life  which  a  sacrifice  mado. 
The  sweat  and  the  spear  were  tot  me. 
And  His  blood  waS  my  price  which  ho  pai  1. 
K  2 


(     114     ) 

3. 
I  remember  the  cry  of  the  Son, 
"  Tis  finished ;"  and  earth  felt  his  word, 
The  rocks  from  her  bosom  were  torn, 
As  died  my  adorable  Lord  ! 
I  remember  the  flesh  and  the  bones, 
Not  keepers  or  seal  could  detain ; 
From  the  grave  as  a  victor  the  Crucified  comes, 
And  ascends  to  his  glory  again. 

4. 
Mediator  !  and  Advocate  made 
For  man,  whether  Gentile  or  Jew; 

Upon  him  our  burden  was  laid  ; 

He  died,  and  he  lives  for  us  too  ! 

Exalted  on  high  he  will  sit, 

Till  the  cup  of  transgression  is  filled ; 

And  then  upon  Edom  his  feet 

Will  tread,  for  the  blood  they  have  spilled. 

5. 

His  two-edged  sword  he  will  bathe, 
In  the  gore  of  Idumean  foes  ; 
Then  shrieks  for  a  mountain  or  cave, 
Avail  not,  for  time's  at  a  close. 


(     H8    ) 

Redemption  !  Salvation  !  and  Grace, 
Are  Bounded  to  Bumera  do  move; 

But  the  vengeance  of  God  in  their  place, 
Rings  the  death-peal,  that  mercy  is  o'er. 

& 

My  sold  !   art  thou  ready  to  say. 
Come,  quickly,  O  Lord,  in  thy  power ! 
Or,  dost  thou  desire  delay, 
Through  dread  of  the  terrible  hour? 
If  ever  the  pilgrim  speak  true, 
Then  her  soul's  dearest  Irish  is  revealed, 
That  she  pants  her  Redeemer  in  glory  to  view, 
And  prays,  "Gird  thy  sword" — take  the  field  ! 

Amen. 


To  the  Heavenly  Warrior 
Be  Glory  and  Praise  ! 
Everlasting  Avenger 
Of  Israel's  race  ; 
Come  quickly,  O  !  come, 
And  sit  on  thy  throne, 
Let  every  knee  bow 
Into  Jesls  alone  !

Revelations  vii.  and  xiv. 

1. 

Now  behold  the  blest  Lamb ! 
On  the  mountain  of  Zion  ; 
Hear  praise  to  his  Name, 
By  the  great  congregation : 
A  multitude  which  no  man 
Nor  angel  could  number  : 
Salvation  to  Shilu 
Who  never  did  slumber, 
Chorus — Shepherd  of  Israel, 
Holy  Emmanuel, 
Glory  and  blessing 
To  God  and  the  Lamb ! 

2. 
How  white  are  their  robes, 
And  the  palms  ever  verdant, 
Which  they  hold  in  their  hands 
At  the  throne  now  triumphant, 
Where  David  once  wielded 
The  sceptre  of  Judah, 
Messiah  is  seated 
To  govern  forever: 

Shepherd  of  Israel,  &c. 


(  11?  ) 

& 

M  Who  are  these,"  cries  a  saint. 
Uoto  John  the  beloved, 

And  whence  have  they  came 

In  these  white  robes  arrayed? 
11  Sir,  thou  knowest,"  most  surely 
The  whole  of  this  vision 
Of  grandeur  and  glory, 
0  !   precious  Redemption. 

Shepherd  of  Israel,  &c. 


Then  the  elder  replied, 
That  the  white-robed  people, 
By  sorrows  were  tried  ; 
In  a  world  full  of  evil : 
By  faith  they've  ascended, 
Through  great  tribulation, 

The  Gospel  defended 

Enduring  temptation  : 

pherd  of  Israel,  &c 

5. 
Therefore,  happy  they  stand. 
In  the  pres  nee  of  Jesus ;

In  his  temple  most  glorious . 


(     118    ) 

They  shall  hunger  no  more, 
Neither  thirst  or  be  weary, 
For  the  Lamb  hath  in  store 
Their  promised  glory  :

Zech.  xii.  11 ;  and  xiv.  1,2;  also  Rev.  i.  7. 

1. 

See  that  mournful  company, 
Weeping,  groaning,  praying ! 
O  !  what  bitter  agony, 
Hark  how  loud  their  wailing ! 
Was  their  first-born  in  the  tomb, 
Could  their  grief  be  greater  ? 
Or  dying  lay  an  only  son, 
Could  they  weep  more  bitter  ? 

2. 
Every  face  to'rd  Calvary, 
Pale  with  pining  sorrow  ; 
Some  are  sinking  in  despair, 
Pray  they  can  no  longer ! 
Surely  never  grief  like  this 
Waked  in  human  bosoms  ; 
And  it  may  not  be  amiss 
To  explain  the  reasons  : 


(     119    ) 

3. 
First,  this  is  the  trying  clay 
Of  Jacobs  seventh  trouble  ; 
And  'Jerusalem  we  see 
Mourning  for  the  evil 

Done  to  Jams,  -Mary's  Son, 

Jests,  God's  anointed  ; 
Jesus  Christ,  the  Holy  One, 
And  paschal  Lamb  appointed. 

4. 
To  redeem  our  guilty  race, 
He  assumed  our  nature  ; 
(Sin  excepted,) — and  by  grace 
Born  of  the  tribe  of  Judah  ! 
Judah's  tribe  and  David's  line, 
Were  Messiah's  lineage  ; 
As  a  man,  and  as  Divine 
He's  the  Rock  of  ages. 

5. 

In  his  manhood's  first  estate, 
Sorrow  marked  Messiah, 
Man  of  grief,  and  destitute 
Of  worldly  wealth  and  grandeur. 

*  Zech  xii.  10. 


(     120    ) 

Though  he  came  of  David's  house, 
Yet  he  then  was  poorer, 
Because  of  royalty's  offence, 
Than  the  rest  of  Judah. 


6. 
E'en  from  Jesse's  son  as  first 
Unto  Zedekiah ; 
Every  king  abused  the  trust 
Of  the  great  Messiah  ; 
Even  Amon's  pious  son, 
Justly  styled  reformer, 
Marred  the  glory  of  his  throne, 
In  the  vale  Megiddo. 

7. 

Died  with  him  religious  fear, 
In  the  kings  of  Judah ; 
O  !  that  monarchs  would  beware, 
How  they  use  their  power  ; 
But  I  will  pursue  my  theme, 
And  rehearse  the  story, 
David's  house  tho'  now  so  mean, 
Is  decreed  for  Glory  ! 


(  ttl  ) 

8. 
God  did  promise  him  a  son, 

Who  should  sway  his  sceptre  ; 
Longer  than  endures  the  moon, 
King  and  Priest  forever  : 
In  his  days  shall  truth  prevail, 
Righteousness  shall  flourish  ; 
Jerusalem  in  safety  dwell, 
As  the  Scriptures  promise  : 

9. 
Happy  they  who  scan  the  Word 
Faithfully  imploring ; 
Help  from  Israel's  mighty  God, 
And  helieve  the  coming 
Of  the  Son  of  Man  to  reign, 
In  his  power  and  glory  ; 
Surely  this  is  written  plain, 
In  the  Gospel  story  : 

10. 
Pint  he  must  appear  a  child, 
Subject  to  hi-  parents ; 
Then  the  man  of  sorrows  mild, 
Bearing  many  torments.

(     122    ) 

Oh  !  I'm  coming  to  the  part 

Of  my  testimony, 

That  might  break  the  hardest  heart.... 

Precious,  precious  story. 

11. 

It  thrills  through  very  righteous  soul, 

Inspiring  deepest  sorrow  ; 

And  causes  Judah  thus  to  howl, 

With  the  deepest  horror : 

When  Immanuel  first  appeared 

In  humiliation, 

And  no  martial  banner  reared, 

But  proclaimed  salvation, 

12. 
From  the  iron  sway  of  sin, 
From  the  guilt  of  Adam, 
From  pollution  deep  within, 
From  the  foe  to  Eden  ; 
Cried,  repent  and  now  believe 
In  your  only  Saviour; 
Follow  me,  and  you  may  have 
Peace  and  joy  forever ; 


(     1*23    ) 

l:*. 
Self  deny,  and  foes  forgive, 
Humbly  seek  for  mercy  ; 
As  ■  little  child  receive 
Promises  of  glory  : 
Ah  !  the  doctrine  of  the  cross, 
Was  otiencc  to  many  ; 
Be  redeemed  by  shame  and  loss, 
Inconsistent  story  : 

14. 

Give  us  of  his  flesh  to  eat ! 
What  a  shocking  Saviour! 

Yet  he  says,  'tis  heavenly  meat 

But  we  reject  the  favour : 
"  Drink  his  blood  !"  'tis  blasphemy  ! 
Sure  he's  an  evil  spirit ; — 
Blood's  forbidden  in  our  law, 
That  we  from  God  inherit ! 

15. 

Scorn  for  kindness,  spite  for  love, 
Malice  for  compassion 
Were  his  lot,  but  could  not  move 
Hi-  purpose  of  Redemption: 


(     124    ) 

Though  betrayed,  arraigned,  condemned, 
Like  a  Lamb  he  suffered  ; 
Though  his  pain  the  rocks  did  rend, 
Jesus  never  murmured : 


16. 

With  his  dying  breath  he  prayed, 

Father,  O  !  forgive  them, 

"  They  know  not  what  they  do,"  he  said, 

But  Judas  knew  'twas  treason ; 

And  better  far  he  ne'er  was  born, 

Than  to  betray  his  Master ; 

But  Israel  must  to  God  return, 

I  am  his  Lord  and  Saviour. 

17. 
Jesus  yielded  up  the  ghost, 
"  It  is  finished,"  crying  ; 
Thus  his  earthly  life  he  lost, 
Yet  conquered  death  by  dying : 
His  perfect  spirit  did  commend 
Unto  the  living  Father ; 
That  he  might,  come  forth  again, 
To  live — to  reijm — forever ! 


(  l*r>  ) 

!«, 

And  to  prove  his  mission  true, 
Death  itself  was  conquered  ; 
Into  life  divine  he  drew 
The  body  thus  prepared, 
For  the  honors  of  a  throne, 
Which  endures  forever, 
And  he  will  unite  as  one, 
Israel  and  Judah. 

19. 

On  a  cloud  to  heaven  he  rode 
Midst  the  shouts  of  angels  ; 
In  the  holy  place  abode 
Till  Jerusalem's  troubles: 
In  the  night  of  Gentile  times, 
When  the  wild  beast  roared, 
Michael  pleads  that  his  designs, 
Might  be  quick  averted. 

20, 

Then  Jehovah  poured  his  grace 
On  two  faithful  servants, 
Sent  them  to  his  chosen  place. 
Arm'd  with  dreadful  torments,

Solemn  warnings  given, 
Worship  now  the  King  of  kings, 
Jesus  !  Lord  from  Heaven  ! 
Day  and  night  the  prophets  cry, 
Without  intermission, 
Round  and  round  the  tidings  fly 
Bearing  this  inscription :

"  Fear  the  Lord,  and  glory  give 
To  the  God  of  Israel, 
Shun  the  Beast,  do  not  receive 
His  mark — 'tis  from  the  devil : 
Lift  your  heads,  ye  trembling  ones, 
Redemption  waits  your  asking, 
Say  "  blessed  be  the  King  who  comes," 
The  God  from  everlasting : 


(     127     ) 

But  alas  !  the  unbelief 
That  beguiled  their  lathers, 
Swelled  to  madness  Judah's  grief 
For  an  army  gathers 
I'nto  Armageddon's  vale 
And  its  proud  commander 
Threatens  Zion  he'll  assail 
If  a  full  surrender 

24. 
Unto  him  as  Israel's  God 
Be  refused  longer, 
Brandishes  his  famous  sword 
Than  a  lion  stronger : 
Yet  the  witnesses  declare 
Through  the  streets  of  Salem, 
All  his  threats  are  puffs  of  air, 
Judah  must  not  fear  him  : 

25. 
Wrath  inflames  the  horrid  beast, 
Thus  to  be  derided 
By  the  sackcloth  witnesses, 
And  it  is  decidod, 


(     128    ) 

That  he  will  the  prophets  slay — 
On  he  comes  with  fury, 
Kills  them ;  and  their  bodies  lay- 
No  one  dares  them  bury,

Infidels  with  loud  exult, 
Shout  the  desperate  triumph  ; 
Glory  in  their  leader's  guilt, 
And  pronounce  him  monarch 
Over  all  beneath  the  sun, 
God  on  mount  Moriah, 
Ruling  in  Jerusalem 
Royal  Prince  Messiah ;

See  his  colors  planted  fast, 
On  the  holy  mountain, 
Bow,  and  worship  him  at  last, 
Who  was,  and  is,  the  chieftain 
Of  an  army  come  from  far, 
Gaul-oh !  gallant  horsemen, 
All  equipped  for  glorious  war, 
In  valley  Armageddon.

Pipers  pipe,  and  fiddlers  play, 
Hound  the  murdered  prophets: 


(     130    ) 

Now  the  danger  is  immense, 

Faith  her  flight  hath  taken, 

O  !  ye  murdered  witnesses, 

Earth  is  sure  forsaken 

By  the  God  of  truth  and  peace, 

By  his  holy  angels, 

By  the  children  of  his  grace, 

And  'tis  filled  with  evils : 

For  the  cup  of  vengeance  pours, 

Through  the  globe  a  mixture, 

Famine,  war,  and  hail-stone  showers, 

Greedily  devour, 

Thousands  of  the  Gentile  race, 

While  the  sons  of  Judah 

Still  reject  the  offered  Grace, 

Jesus,  the  Messiah. 

33. 
Yet  poor  Judah,  trembling,  thinks 
Of  the  declaration, 
"  He  that  takes  that  mark,  he  sinks 
Down  into  endless  ruin." 
But  the  preachers  of  that  word, 
Died  by  him  they  call'd 
Reprobated  foe  to  God, 
And  they  seem  determined, 


(     131     ) 

34. 
To  despair  of  Heaven's  aid, 
For  Jerusalem  'a  taken  ; 
By  a  host,  of  nations  made, 
All  their  trust  is  shaken. 
Perilous  that  hour  of  need, 
Far  beyond  description  ; 
Day  of  Jacob's  woe  indeed, 
Horrid  desolation  ! 

35. 
Awful  horror  !  black  despair  ! 
Utter  consternation ! 
Now  extorts  the  humble  prayer, 
God  of  our  salvation, 
We  are  ruined,  justly  too, 
For  we  have  rejected 
Mercy ;  and  deserve  the  woe, 
By  heaven  and  hell  inflicted. 

36. 
But,  Oh  !  if  Israel's  God  thou  art, 
Unchangeable  in  goodness, 
Let  our  misery  touch  thy  heart, 
O  !  behold  the  madness 


(     132    ) 

Of  Jerusalem's  foes  and  thine, 
Hear  the  bold  denial 
Of  Jehovah's  power  divine, 
By  the  sons  of  Belial. 

37. 
If  our  guilt  is  great,  our  grief 
Flows  like  a  mighty  torrent  ; 
O  !  can  there  be  no  relief, 
From  such  dire  torment? 
Houses  rifled — women  torn, 
From  their  husbands  bosoms, 
Captive  we  must  now  become, 
To  the  heathen  nations. 

3S. 
Awful  crisis  !  now  behold, 
The  heavens  and  earth  they  tremble, 
The  sun  is  black,  the  moon  is  blood, 
The  stars,  how  fast  they  tumble  ! 
Fearful  sights  in  heaven  are  seen, 
Flying  armies  gather 
The  Wild  Beast,  and  his  wretched  men, 
Are  just  as  bad  as  ever. 


(    W    ) 

_\<tw  the  witnesses  awak»i. 

From  their  three  days'  slumber, 

And  their  foes  begin  to  quake, 

For  a  voice  like  thunder, 

Calls  upon  them  to  ascend — 

Up  they  go  to  heaven, 

In  clouds  to  meet  their  heavenly  Friend, 

While  their  foes  are  wailing. 

40. 
11  Fall  upon  us,"  crashing  hills, 
Rolling  mountains  hide  us, 
Crumbling  rocks  become  our  cells, 
For  we  see  the  Glorious: 
The  Glorious,  Holy  One  descend, 
In  all  Jehovah's  power, 
Angelic  hosts  his  march  attend, 
This  is  our  judgment  hour. 

41. 
-"  holy  i: round  receive* 
A  blow  which  parts  asunder, 
The  tabernacles  of  the  Betflt, 
And  a  peal  of  thunder

With  Jehovah's  lightnings  join, 
And  a  mighty  earthquake, 
With  fiery  hail  and  storm  combine 
All  things  to  desolate. 

42. 
Seven  thousand  men  are  slain, 
While  the  new-built  city 
Feels  a  shock  of  dreadful  pain, 
And  laments  the  folly 
Of  attending  to  the  man 
Who  made  the  graven  image, 
Probably  a  son  of  Dan 
Or  of  Asher's  lineage  : 

43. 
Now,  O  now  the  whirlwind  woe 
And  the  trumpet  blowing, 
All  the  remnant,  every  Jew, 
In  a  fright  are  crying, 
God  of  Abraham  forgive 
All  our  sinful  errors ! 
We  in  Jesus  Christ  believe, 
For  we  feel  his  terrors : 


(     l*r>     ) 

41. 
'Tis  enough,  the  Shiloh  cries, 
I  return  to  Zion, 
And  before  their  naked  eyes, 
Jtldah't  roused  lion 
Stands  in  majesty  arrayed, 
With  snow-white  spirits  round  him, 
He  cries,  'tis  I,  be  not  afraid, 
Lo  !  I  bring  your  pardon  : 

45. 

Now,  the  Jesus  once  proclaimed 

A  devil  and  blasphemer  ! 

With  shouts  of  praise  is  gladly  named 

The  everlasting  Shiloh  ! 

David's  house,  with  bitter  grief 

Mourn  that  they  rejected 

The  truth,  proclaimed  by  Joseph  Wolf, 

That  man  who  was  elected 

40. 
To  preach  the  corning  of  his  Lord, 
The  Crucified,  the  Risen, 
To  cleanse  his  land,  the  temple  build, 
And  govern  in  Jerusalem. 


(     136    ) 

On  Calvary  look  awhile  you  weep, 
Commands  the  great  Emmanuel, 
For  all  along  that  rugged  steep, 
I  bore  the  curse  for  Israel. 

47. 
And  you  see  they  have  obeyed, 
You  hear  their  own  confession, 
That  Christ  a  curse  for  sinners  made, 
Is  Author  of  Redemption. 
Hark  !  the  angelic  armies  shout 
Amid  the  holy  chorus, 
Jesus  !  Saviour  Infinite  ! 
Jesus  !  Christ  most  glorious  ! 

48. 
My  pen  I  now  will  lay  aside, 
Requesting  all  to  ponder, 
The  paths  they  tread,  nor  careless  slide 
After  the  Beast  to  wonder  ;* 
And  do  not  mysticise  the  Word, 
There 's  danger  and  delusion  ; 
You  must  believe  the  literal  Lord 
Is  present  in  Millennium ! 

Amen — even  so, 
Come  Lord  Jesus,  come  quickly.

Jesus  Christ  is  coming ! 
Riding  on  the  brilliant  cloud, 
Troops  of  angels  round  Him  ! 
On  Mount  Olivet  He'll  stand, 
In  Majesty  and  power; 
Rallying  his  ancient  band, 
Israel  and  Judah.

SONG  MILLENNIAL. 

1. 
R    Btorei  of  paths  that  are  holy  and  blest, 

For  Jerusalem's  daughters  to  tread  ; 
O,  hasten  to  Zioo,  thy  hallowed  rest, 

Thuu  Lamb  that  on  Calvary  bled ! 

2. 
The  promises  sealed  by  the  Amen  of  God, 

To  the  children  of  Jacob,  are  sure  ; 
And  the  vision  that  waits,  is  thy  coming,  O  Lord, 

In  person,  in  glory,  and  power  ! 

3. 

At  the  end  it  will  speak,  and  the  nations  shall  hear, 
That  have  mock'd  at  Jerusalem's  grief; 

At  the  sound  of  the  trump,  thine  elect  must  appear, 
And  behold  their  Commander-in-chief! 

4. 

O  blessed  Redeemer,  roll  on  the  blest  hour, 

And  shorten  the  terrible  day-  ! 
Let  Babe]  the  great  feel  the  rod  of  thy  power, 

And  perish  with  dreadful  amaze  !

Then,  then,  shall  the  thousands  of  Zion's  redeemed 

Their  loud  Alleluia  begin  ; 
And  salvation  ascribe  to  the  man  who  is  styled, 

Her  Shiloh,  her  prosperous  King.* 

6. 
Alleluia !  cry  David's  beatified  house, 

Allelulia  !  Judah  responds, 
As  the  Ancient  of  Days,  with  his  heavenly  voice, 

Awakens  the  saints  from  their  tombs. 

7. 
Manasseh  and  Ephraim  join  in  the  lay, 

And  echo  from  mountain  to  vale, 
The  glory  of  Israel's  Shepherd,  and  say, 

"  Root  and  offspring  of  David — All  hail !" 

8. 
Nor  shall  Japhet's  descendants  be  silent  in  death, 

Who  prepare  for  the  coming  of  God  ; 
Or  the  children  of  Ham,  whose  every  breath, 

In  probation  was  praise  to  the  Lord. 

*  Psalm  xlv.  4. 


(    Ul    ) 

BqI  haughty  d  I  of  Shiloh's  soft  stream 

Must  drain  the  deep  dregs  of  his  wrath; 

Tlieir  blaspheming  tongues  they  gnaw  in  dread  pain, 
All  hopeless  of  aid  or  relief. 

10. 
O  Gentiles,  be  sober,  and  watch  unto  prayer, 

Who  read  this  Millennial  Song ; 
The  oracles  search  with  steadiest  care, 

They  exhibit  the  King  on  his  throne. 

11. 

On  the  eminent  mountain  of  Zion  'tis  set, 

Of  Lebanon's  cedar  compos'd, 
Its  pillars  are  silver,  the  pavement  is  blest, 

And  the  bottom  is  iinest  of  gold. 

12. 

Holy  angels  will  gaze  on  this  wonderful  throne, 

And  expand  every  beautiful  wing, 
Around  that  dear  head,  once  crowned  with  thorn, 

And  Gabriel's  anthem  they  sing. 


(    148    ) 
«  THE  DAY  IS  AT  HAND !" 

The  star  of  Jacob  will  surely  arise, 
When  red  men  watch  to  ceaseless  prayer ; 
My  chiefs,  my  warriors,  O  !  be  wise, 
And  trust  the  Great  Spirit's  unslumbering  care ; 
For  sooner  shall  fail  sun,  moon  and  world 
Than  Israel  be  to  oblivion  hurled. 


I  clasp  the  bow  of  Israel ! 

With  freedom's  lofty  sign ; 

My  right  hand  points  to  the  clustered  fruit, 

Of  Canaan's  famous  vine. 


(    149    ) 

The  arrow  lies  00  my  faithful  breast, 
And  I  pray  tor  a  chance  to  go, 
Away  from  the  land  where  I've  no  rest, 
But  must  drink  a  cup  of  woe  : 

in.  the  Peace  of  Israel,  come, 
On  the  cloud  with  seraphs  ride. 

And  bring  thy  mournful  outcasts  home, 
I:i  Zioo  to  rest,  thy  royal  bride: 
O!  fTarshish  !  shall  thy  favored  fleet, 
Be  first  on  the  proud  salt  wai 
In  the  time  foretold  when  God's  elect 
Shall  come  from  their  mystic  graves  /

When  Israel  hails  the  blest ! 
Oh  !  how  this  earth  shall  tremble, 

Beneath  his  brassy  feet, 
When  Jesus  binds  the  Devil, 

And  seals  him  in  the  pit ! 

3. 
His  countenance  like  lightning, 

His  raiment  white  as  snow, 
As  when  on  Tabor  shining, 

Apostles  saw  him  so : 
His  voice  like  many  waters, 

Calls  to  the  angels  loud — 
Gather  my  sons  and  daughters, 

Bring  "  mine  elect"  to  God  ! 

4. 

How  fleet  the  gold-winged  Seraphs 
Will  fly  to  search  this  globe, 

To  find  the  Bride  of  Jesus, 
Elected  in  his  Word !

NO  t\  rani  §tay  their  llight ;

When  Christ  goes  forth  to  war, 
Against  the  wrathful  nations 
That  dare  invade  his  land, 
And  set*  "Abomination" 

Where  Israel's  God  must  stand ! 

6. 

He'll  bathe  his  sword  in  Heaven, 

The  harlot  she  must  fall, 
To  fiery  lakes  be  driven, 

Fal>e  prophet,  beast,  and  all 
Who've  scorned  the  blood  on  Calvary, 

;  d  the  Holy  Ghost, 
Trampled  on  offered  mercy, 
lost — forever  1

Rejoice  as  Babel  dies, 
And  shouts  to  Jesus,  glory, 

Fill  Heaven  and  Earth  and  Skies  ,• 
The  ancient  song  of  Gabriel 

Sweetly  revives  again — 
Glory  to  God,  most  Holy, 

Peace  now  on  earth  will  reign.

Thanks  be  to  kindest  love, 
That  strews  along  my  path, 
Sweet  favors  from  above, 

While  loving  Jesus  saith 

My  kingdom  is  of  children  made, 
Then  let  them  come  to  me  for  aid. 

4. 
His  call  I  would  obey, 
Taught  by  my  parents  dear  ; 
And  seek  the  narrow  way, 

With  constant  humble  prayer, 

Ere  childhood's  morning  sun  is  fled, 
And  all  its  blooming  flowers  are  dead. 

5. 
There  is  a  fairer  morn, 
And  brighter  sun  than  this ; 
The  righteous  hail  its  dawn, 
And  share  its  fadeless  bliss 


(    iw   ) 

Thai  morn  is  heaven,  (he  Lamb  its  Sun, 
That  shines  while  endless  aires  run. 

6. 

O,  Jesus,  lowly  Love  ! 
Bestow  on  my  young  heart, 
The  graces  of  thy  Dove, 
And  watching  power  impart; 
Thai  I  may  be  prepared  to  view, 
Thy  face  with  joy  and  rapture  too. 


A  HYMN 

For  an  awakened  Youth. 

1. 

Great  God  !  I'm  fornvd  by  thy  own  hand- 
Fm  placed  on  earth  by  thee ; 

In  youth's  unguarded  path  I  stand, — 
O  Lord  !    remember  me. 

2, 

Thou,  ere  the  mountains  had  their  birth, 

Eteview'd  my  transient  day  ; 
Or  ever  thou  hadst  made  this  earth, 

Beheld  my  youthful  way. 
O 


(     158    ) 

3. 
Thou,  when  I  into  being  came, 

Pitied  my  infant  cry  ; 
Thine  eye  didst  view  my  tender  frame, — 

Thou  heard'st  my  earliest  sigh. 

4. 
By  thee  preserv'd — by  love  sustain'd, 

E'en  love  on  Calvary, 
I've  been  thus  far,  though  I've  disdain'd 

The  grace  bestow'd  on  me. 

5. 

My  infancy  has  gone  to  w7aste, 

My  days  of  childhood  fled, 
While  I  of  grace  refused  to  taste, 

And  in  my  sins  was  dead. 

6. 

Now,  Lord,  thy  Gospel's  powerful  sound, 

Has  roused  my  youthful  heart, 
To  beat  with  dread,  lest  I  be  found 

Without  the  better  part. 

7. 
That  part  so  good,  by  Mary  chose, 

Alone  can  make  me  blest, 
When  in  death's  grasp  these  eyes  must  close, 

And  in  the  grave  I  rest.

O  Lord  !  remember  me. 

10. 
Thy  saints  who've  learned  thy  truth  to  speak, 

Say  thou  wilt  pity  show 
On  mourning  youth,  whose  hearts  e'en  brake 

Thy  pard'ning  grace  to  know.

Will  it  be  said  of  me :

And  Christ  remembers  me  ? 

14. 

1  hope  it  will — I  do  believe 

That  Jesus  for  me  died  ; 

I  can  a  pardon  now  receive — 

I  touch  his  pierced  side. 

15. 

Now,  glory  to  the  Father's  name, 

Who  gave  his  only  Son, 
To  save  my  soul  from  sin  and  shame, 

And  bring  me  to  his  throne. 

16. 
And  Glory  to  Emmanuel, 

My  heart  adores  his  grace ; 
He  saves  my  soul  from  death  and  hell, 

And  I  shall  see  his  face.

And  am  I  justified, 

By  faith  in  Christ  the  Lord? 
Do  I  in  his  his  pure  blood  confide 

And  trust  his  sacred  word  ! 

2. 

Is  my  repentance  true, 

Toward  his  righteous  law  ? 

Have  I  a  heart  to  love  him  now. 
That  near  his  feet  will  draw  ? 

S. 
If  I,  indeed,  am  thus, 

And  all  my  sins  forgiven,

Lord,  break  the  dang'rous  charm, 
And  show  me  all  the  worst :

My  all  to  God  resign ; 
Oh  !  make  my  heart  from  error  free, 
And  seal  that  heart  on  thine. 

8. 
In  life  I  would  thee  serve, 

With  every  fleeting  breath  ; 
And  ask  for  overcoming  faith 

To  praise  thy  name  in  death. 

9. 
And  when  the  monster's  dart, 

Shall  break  the  vital  string, 
May  I  with  joy  from  earth  depart, 

And  rise,  thy  love  to  sing.

Of  praise  to  Jesus1  name,

In  pure  and  endless  lays, 
With  golden  harp,  and  Moses'  song,

TO  THE  CHILD  OF  PROSPERITY. 

1. 
Child  of  prosperity,  is  peace  thy  companion; 
And  duos  rosy  joy  thy  gay  temples  adorn? 

permanent  pleasure  reside  in  thy  mansion, 
Which  gold  doth  assist  thee  with  pomp  to  adorn? 
2. 
the  Gospel's  pure  witness  find  repose  in  thy 
bosom — 
Emmanuel's  love  pave  thy  path  to  the  grave? 
Art   thou   borne  to  his   presence   by  time's  rapid 
motion  ! — 
Ah  !  dost  thou  devoutly  implore  him  to  save? 


(    K»    ) 

3. 
To  save  thee  from  sinking  in  unbelief's  ocean, 

O  children  of  pleasure,  my  Jesus  hath  bled  ; 
Then  pause  in  your  mirth,  and  behold  your  condition, 

Examine  the  spirit  by  which  you  are  led. 

4. 

In  death's  awful  hour,  when  nature  is  sinking, 
The  world's  gaudy  treasures  will  charm  you  no 
more ; 

Each  airy  idea  which  in  health  you  are  drinking, 
Is  wasted,  and  fancy  her  reign  must  give  o'er. 

5. 

?Tis  the  Gospel  alone  that  doth  wave  the  white 
banner, 
Of  lasting  delight,  and  unsullied  joy  ; 
In  sickness  and  health,  'tis  the  only  sure  treasure, 
Which  death's  marble  hand  is  too  weak  to  de- 
stroy. 

6. 
O  slight  not  the  calls  of  Omnipotent  mercy, 
That  warns  you  to  flee  from  the  wrath  that's  to 
come ! 
Fly,  fly  to  the  mountain,  where  Jesus  in  pity, 
In  agony  died  to  avert  your  sad  doom ! 


(    MM    ) 

i  i 

11<>  calls  by  his  word  and  lie  woos  by  his  spirit; 

\\\<  servants  and  handmaids  invite  you  to  come, 
And  sit  at  his  feet,  that  you  may  inherit 

In  heaven  a  bright  incorruptible  crown. 


THE  PILGRIM'S  SONG. 

1. 

I  am  going  home, 

I  am  going  home, 
My  glass  of  life  will  soon  be  run, 
And  all  my  toil  on  earth  be  done — 
I  hope  to  reach  Jerusalem, 

The  city  from  the  skies. 

2. 
My  Saviour  dear, 
Will  soon  appear, 
To  take  me  from  this  world  of  sin, 
He'll  Bay,  poor  wand'rer,  enter  in, 
erlasting  rest  with  him, 
Who  died  thy  soul  to  save. 


(     106     ) 

3. 

Ye  saints  of  God, 

Who  love  his  word, 
We  soon  shall  meet  to  part  no  more, 
When  life's  dull  pilgrimage  is  o'er, 
And  victory  shout  on  Canaan's  shore, 

With  harps  of  purest  gold. 

4. 

Poor  sinners,  come, 

And  seek  a  home, 
A  peaceful  home  in  Jesus'  breast ; 
Who  spent  his  life,  to  give  you  rest — 
Come  lay  your  hand  on  his  dear  vest — 

O  !  dying  sinners,  come. 

5. 

How  can  you  stay, 

In  that  curst  way, 
That  leads  you  down  to  endless  woe? 
Your  Saviour  calls — -poor  sinners,  go, 
And  weeping,  ask  that  you  may  know 

The  way  to  realms  of  bliss. 

6. 
You  soon  must  die, 
Your  souls  will  fly 


(    MB    ) 

Away,  afar  from  earthly 
And  bid  farewell  to  painted  toys, 
When  ill  sound  his  awful  voice, 

Death  makes  you  all  his  prey; 


Search  the  Script'  diem  ye  think  ye  have  eternal 

lite:  and  they  are  they  that  e. — Jesus  Christ. 

Yea,  Holy  Jesus  !   in  the  sacred  page, 

Thy  testimony  rings  from  age  to  B 

Of  Thee  did  Moses  write,  and  proph  ts  sing, 

Their  glorious  Antitype,  their  heavenly  King — 

Thy  Advent  first  to  sutler,  love  to  die, 

Thy  resurrection  and  ascent  on  high; 

Thy  Mediatorship  at  God's  right  hand, 

Thy  second  coming  to  the  holy  land; 

Thy  reign,  Millennia]  !  O,  the  rapturous  sound  ! 

When  saints  are  glorified,  and  satan  bound — 

And  last  of  all,  thy  solemn  judgment  seat, 

Where  small  and  great,  where  Greek  and  Jew 

must  meet : 
Who  wake  not  in  the  resurrection  first, 
Must  then  awake,  and  meet  their  Judge,  the  Just! 

Ye  Indians  I  who  can  read,  the  word  obey 
And  search  the  holy  records  day  by  day  ; 


(     168    ) 

Praying  that  scales  and  beams  may  leave  your 

eyes, 
That  you  may  see  by  faith,  by  faith  may  rise, 
On  eagles  wings,  to  hail  the  approaching  hour, 
When  Christ  shall  come  in  majesty  and  power ; 
For  come  He  will,  and  soon  his  cloudy  car, 
Will  sweep  the  heavens  of  every  glittering  star ; 
His  presence  shame  the  sun,  confound  the  moon,* 
While  round  his  brow  there  shines  eternal  noon. 
Glory  of  glories,  light  of  lights  is  he, 
Who  once  hung  bleeding  on  the  accursed  tree — 
The  Prince  of  princes,  King  of  kings,  Most  High, 
Riding  in  majesty  along  the  sky. 
His  sacred  feet  on  Olives'  mount  shall  stand, 
Surrounded  by  his  host,  a  heavenly  band ; — 
Judah  shall  bow,  with  Israel,  and  confess, 
This  is  the  Lord  our  peace  and  righteousness. — 
And  Gentiles  who  have  feared  his  holy  name, 
Shall  in  the  Lion  see  the  suffering  Lamb. 
Hasten,  O  Jesus,  the  auspicious  day, 
Unfurl  thy  banner,  and  thy  power  display — 
Come,  reign  in  Ariel,  sit  on  David's  throne, 
And  let  there  be  One  Lord,  his  Name  be  One. 

See  Isaiah  xxiv.  last  verse.

tzr  N  OTICE 

To  all  persons  who  may  take  in  hand  "THE  IIARP  OF 
ISRAEL,"  by  H.  Livermore. 

I  have  dedicated  this  humble  Memorial  of  my 
devoted  attachment  to  the  afflicted  Aborigines  of 
America,  unto  my  compassionate,  merciful,  and 
gracious  Redeemer,  believing  that  I  am  an  object 
of  his  tender  pity ;  for  I  *fear  his  name,  and  de- 
sire his  glory. 

I  have  published  these  effusions,  at  this  time,  to 
bear  witness  for  me,  that  I  pant  to  comfort  the 
Lord's  outcasts,  in  their  desolate  state  ;  and  I  shall 
exert  all  my  feeble  powers,  if  I  am  spared  long 
enough,  to  have  this  Harp  placed  in  the  hands  of 
my  far  distant  brethren,  the  mysterious  children 
of  the  forest,  hoping  they  will  accept  it  in  love, 
and  pray  for  their  pilgrim  sister  in  the  bonds  of 
Israel,  and  in  the  Lord. 

I  have  no  apology  to  present  for  the  rude  sur- 
face of  my  hymns :  that  is,  their  lack  of  poetical 
genius  and  regular  system ;  for  it  never  was  my 

*  See  Psalm  ciii.

(   no  ) 

aim  to  dazzle  the  human  mind,  or  to  set  people 
to  wonder  after  an  animal — but  to  exhibit  Truth, 
in  her  simplicity ;  and  especially  to  vindicate  literal 
Bible  prophecy,  as  destined  to  elicit  all  that  "  is 
written"  of  Judgment,  Mercy  and  Glory  in  its  ful- 
filment, &c.  in  its  perfect  accomplishment,  when 
Restitution  is  made  to  God,  by  the  Man  of  his 
right  hand,  Jesus  Christ,  the  Lord. 

I  have  taken  a  copy-right  of  this  Book,  with  a 
view  to  shelter  the  Harp,  in  my  own  fearless 
breast,  should  it  become  an  object  of  dislike,  &c. 
&c.  &c. 

I  am  the  inditer  of  the  whole  of  these  pages, 
except  the  Specimens  of  Languages— and  have 
not  designedly  copied  after  any  Hymn-writer. 

I  now  conclude  ;  giving  the  Harp  of  Israel  leave 
to  wander  far  and  wide,  bearing  on  every  string 
the  sacred  Name,  the  dying  love,  and  saving  Grace 
of  Jesus  Christ,  the  Holy  One  of  Israel. 

Amen — Amen — Amen.

Authorities  for  the  above,  as  well  as  other  evidences  in  favor 
of  my  sentiments — H.  L. 

*Doctor  Jonathan  Edwards,  son  of  President  Edwards. 
*Honorable  Elias  Boudinott,  L.  L.  D. 
Messrs.  Lack  and  Escarbotus. 
Doctor  Williams,  Vermont 
tJames  Adair,  Esq. 
*********** 

Mr.  Adair  and  Doctor  Edwards,  both  expressed  their  entire 
conviction,  that  the  Indian  languages  are  from  the  Hebrew.  The 
latter  observes,  that  "  their  pronouns  as  well  as  their  nouns,  are 
manifestly  Hebrew  ;"  and  the  former  notes  the  laconic,  bold  and 
commanding  figures  of  speech,  used  by  the  Indians,  as  exactly 
agreeing  with  the  Hebrew  language.  Mr.  Adair  remarks  also, 
that  "  having  lived  forty  years  among  them,  he  obtained  such 
knowledge  of  the  Hebrew  idiom  of  their  language,  that  he  view- 
ed the  event  of  their  having  for  more  than  two  millenaries,  and 
without  the  aid  of  literature,  preserved  their  Hebrew  language 
so  pure,  to  be  but  little  short  of  a  miracle." 

It  is  interesting  to  consider,  that  Dr.  Edwards  and  Mr.  Adair 
are  two  efficient  witnesses  for  the  afflicted  Indians,  that  they  are 
of  high  consequence  in  the  sight  of  God,  being  the  only  people 
in  the  world,  known  at  this  day,  whose  vernacular  tongue  re- 
sembles the  holy  language ;  for  I  dare  to  assert,  that  "  Yehowah" 
is  the  very  original  term  for  that  Great  Name,  styled  in  modern 
Hebrew,  Jehovah,  which  is  used  also  in  the  English  pronun- 
ciation,

(    H4    ) 

The  election  of  Jacob  and  Israel,  by  the  God 
of  Abraham,  and  the  "  fear  of  Isaac,"  had  also 
the  oath  of  Jehovah  for  its  confirmation,  through 
the  prophetic  blessing  of  the  elect  son  of  faithful 
Abraham,  who  is  called  "the  friend  of  God ;"  there- 
fore, the  Holy  Ghost  saith, 

"He  hath  remembered  his  covenant  forever, 

The  word  which  he  commanded  to  a  thousand  generations : 

Which  covenant  he  made  with  Abraham, 

And  his  oath  unto  Isaac, 

And  confirmed  the  same  unto  Jacob 

For  a  law  : 

And  to  Israel, 

For  an  everlasting  covenant, 

Saying,  unto  thee  will  I  give  the  land  of  Canaan, 

The  lot  of  your  inheritance." 

The  Lord  Jesus  Christ  virtually  owned  himself 
to  be  the  Messenger  of  this  covenant  and  election  of 
grace  ;  and  is  declared  by  Paul,  "  a  minister  of  the 
circumcision  for  the  truth  of  God,  to  confirm  the 
promises  made  unto  the  fathers ;"  To  the  woman 
of  Canaan,  the  Blessed  One  said,  "  I  am  not  sent 
but  unto  the  lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel." 

The  promise  to  Israel  is  of  grace ;  and  has  no 
connection  with  the  law,  as  a  covenant  of  works 
under  the  first  dispensation  of  a  written  Word ; 
therefore  Sinai  shall  thunder  no  more  in  the  ears 
of  the  elect,  when  Judgment  returns  unto  righteous- 
ness ;  for  Israel  is  removed  to  mount  Zion,  and 
sealed  unto  holiness  and  eternal  life  in  the  presence 
of  the  Lamb,  at  that  season,  when  the  enemies  of 
God  and  his  people  are  calling  on  rocks  and  moun- 
tains, to  hide  them  from  his  wrath  and  vengeance: 


(     1^5    ) 

To  Israel,  as  a  distinct  congregation,  "pertaineth 
the  (latter  day)  adoption/'  M«nd  the  glory,"  "and 
the  covenants,'1  "and  the  jxr/Vrt  service  of  God," 
when  ik  Holiness  to  the  Lord  shall  ring  in  the  hells 
of  the  horses,"  and  shall  be  written  upon  every 
festal  in  the  new  and  hallowed  temple,  and  be  visible 
upon  every  sacrifice  oflered  up  to  his  Holy  Name. 

I  appeal  t<>  the  oracles  of  the  Most  high  God, 
f  >r  the  validity  of  my  testimony,  in  thus  carrying 
forward  to  the  time  called  Millennium,  a  full  and 
actual  performance  of  his  "  promises  to  the  fa- 
thers," in  an  absolute  and  unconditional  (as  to 
Sinai)  election  of  Israel,  unto  "  glory  and  virtue," 
as  happy  witnesses  to  the  immutability  of  the  cove- 
nant, Jehovah  made  with  their  fathers,  centuries 
prior  to  Moses'  day.  Nothing  need  be  plainer  than 
Paul's  testimony  to  the  election  of  his  nation  in 
the  latter  days,  when  "  out  of  Zion  shall  come  the 
Deliverer,  who  shall  turn  awav  ungodliness  from 
Jacob;  for  this  is  my  covenant  unto  them,  saith 
the  Lord,  when  I  shall  take  away  their  sins  ;  "for 
the  gifts  and  calling  of  God  are  without  repentance." 
And  Paul  adds,  that  all  Israel  shall  be  saved  !"* 

"  O  !  the  depth  of  the  riches,  both  of  the  wisdom 
and  the  knowledge  of  God  !  How  unsearchable  are 
his  judgments,  and  his  ways  past  finding  out '" 

With  the  sacred  election  of  Israel,  by  the  grace 
of  God,  unto  the  glory  of  the  purchased  poeaoseion 
by  Jesus  Christ,  there  can  be  BO  controversy,  ex- 
cept the  literal  words  of  God,  as  written  by  pro- 
phets, evangelists  and  apostles,   be   rejected  ;   or 

*  Romans  \i. 


(     176    ) 

retained  but  as  fables  and  allegories.  Let  theN 
human  mind  submit  to  the  dictates  of  conscience, 
and  bend  to  the  "  sure  word  of  prophecy,  taking 
heed  thereto  as  unto  a  candle  that  shineth  in  a 
dark  place ;"  waiting  upon  God  as  a  servant  wait- 
eth  for  his  master's  direction,  and  asking  for  in- 
struction like  a  humble  child.  I  know  that  Jesus 
Christ  will  readily  show  to  such  the  truth  of  the 
matter,  even  that  his  mission  to  suffer  was  intend- 
ed to  prepare  the  way  for  his  advent  to  glory,  in 
the  times  of  restitution  to  God,  of  all  things  spoken 
of  by  the  mouth  of  holy  prophets,  (under  influence 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,)  since  the  prophetic  world  be- 
gan ; — and  that  his  glorious  epiphany,  his  second 
coming  in  person,  and  glorious  power,  is  in  the 
character  and  style  of  Redeemer,  Deliverer,  and 
Shepherd  of  the  long  lost,  outcast,  driven  out,  and 
(otherwise)  hopeless  and  divorced  Israel,  who  have 
wandered  from  sea  to  sea,  and  from  land  to  land, 
for  more  than  two  thousand  years. 

I  now  appeal  to  the  words  of  holy  writ,  and  to 
"  the  signs  of  the  times,"  if  this  glorious  "  election 
day,"  is  not  now  very  nigh  at  hand  ! 

I  ask,  Do  not  the  heavens  and  the  earth  give 
tokens,  that  the  end  of  all  things  (now  present)  is 
at  hand? 

Few  persons  have  now  the  hardihood  to  deny, 
that  through  the  whole  world,  there  are  signs  of 
an  approaching  revolution,  that  must  form  a  crisis 
far  greater  than  has  ever  been  witnessed,  since  the 
destruction  of  the  old  world  by  a  flood. — It  is  true, 
there  is  but  very  little,  if  any  sterling  faith,  among 
the  two  hundred  millions  of  people  that  yet  profess 


(  m  ) 

to  retain  the  knowledge  of  the  only  tme  God;  for 
man  lias  ever  been  sinking  lower  and  deeper  in  Bin 
ever  since  he  fell. — Sure  enough,  as  the  tree  fell  in 
Eden,  so  it  lies,  and  will,  till  the  Anointed  comes 
again,  and  hinds  the  old  serpents  man's  infernal  foe  ! 

But  truth  will  rise  out  of  the  earth  yet ;  and  the 
Day,  the  Great  Day  is  at  hand,  the  day  of  ven- 
geance of  a  holy  God,  which  brings  forward  a  very 
solemn  consideration  to  our  view — viz. 

The  Supreme  Existence,  who  appeared  to  Abra- 
ham in  Haran  and  Mamre,  afterward  appeared  to 
Isaac,  and  then  to  Jacob,  and  pronounced  upon  each 
and  all  of  them,  the  blessing  which  is  above  and 
beyond  all  probation  of  law,  whether  of  faith  or 
of  works ;  for  it  is  the  overflowing,  and  overplus 
of  everlasting,  and  unchangeable  Love,  no  merit 
in  question,  no  reason  given;  only  "  Jacob  have 
I  loved  :"  I  request  to  know,  is  there  one  sentence 
in  all  the  Holy  Book,  which  can  be  made  to  repre- 
sent a  revocation  of  the  perpetuity  of  this  blessing 
upon  the  seed  of  Israel,  when  the  times  of  restitu- 
tion appear  ? 

I  know  it  is  impossible  to  discover  such  a  blot 
upon  the  sublime  page  of  God's  decrees — no.  He 
will  punish  his  people;  and  he  will  avenge  them 
too;   but  God  hath  not  cast  away  Israel  forever  ! 

To  this  covenant  of  Messing  in  the  latter  days, 
Moses  referred,  when  he  wrote  the  33d  chapter  of 
Deuteronomy,  and  Paul  recognised  the  same  when 
he  declared,  that  M  by  two  immutable  things,  in 
which  it  is  impossible  for  God  to  lie,'*  there  is  strong 
consolation  for  gospel  believers — 1st,  the  Promise, 
2d,  the  Oath  of  God  ! 


(    i<s   ) 

To  Abraham — to  Jacob — to  Moses;  and  to  all 
the  tribes  of  Israel,  Jehovah  has  appeared,  and 
named  himself  the  God  of  Abraham — of  Isaac — 
and  of  Jacob,  upon  the  ground  of  election,  the 
election  of  grace,  according  to  his  sovereign  will, 
which  decides,  that  in  the  latter  days,  "  /  will  be 
their  God  ;  and  they  shall  be  my  people  /" 

In  the  divine  order  and  purpose  of  God,  the 
whole  of  his  sacred  words  must  be  fulfilled,  and 
accomplished ;  even  the  words  of  holy  prophecy, 
relating  to  general  restitution,  of  which  the  salva- 
tion of  Israel  is  a  prime  object  of  decree,  as  well 
as  of  desire,  with  God  and  the  Lamb.  Of  course, 
the  blessing  of  Abraham  revives  immediately  on 
the  opening  of  the  Judgment  of  the  quick,  at  the 
second  advent  of  Jesus  Christ  the  Lord ;  viz.  "  I 
will  bless  them  that  bless  thee ;  and  I  will  curse 
him  that  curseth  thee  !" 

Impelled  by  the  influence  of  a  Spirit  which 
moves  upon  my  mind,  day  and  night,  and  constantly 
warns  me  to  prepare  to  meet  my  God,  I  declare 
to  the  Rulers  of  the  people  of  this  land,  that  the 
declaration  of  God  to  Abraham,  more  than  three 
thousand  years  ago,  is  received  at  this  eventful 
period,  and  by  the  Spirit  of  truth  is  addressed  to 
every  Indian,  that  prays  to  the  Great  and  Mighty 
One! 

Yea — the  Indians  are  Israel :  they  are  "  beloved 
for  the  fathers  sakes ;"  and  even  in  their  present 
outcast  state,  are  the  "  vineyard  of  red  wine," 
watched  by  Jehovah  every  moment." 

If  you  demand  of  me,  to  give  you  my  authority 
for  these  sayings,  I  tell  you — conscience — and 


(    n(J   ) 

I  ask  you,  shall  man  dare  to  judge  that  portion  of 
my  being,  which  is  quickened  by  the  Infinite  God  I 

My  conscience  then,  bearing  witness  to  the  In- 
dian tribes,  that  the]  are  M  lost  Israel. w  and  like*  iso 
to  the  history  of  the  ten  tribes,  and  the  prophecies 
which  concern  them,  bond  upon  the  sacred  records 
of  God,  I  solemnly,  (as  in  the  presence  of  my 
everlasting  Judge,  referring  my  act,  at  this  mo- 
ment, to  his  eye  and  care,)  I  solemnly  declare, 
that  1  am  authorized  to  say — 

BIcs-m  1  are  they  thai  bless  the  Indians;  and 
!  is  he  who  curseth  the  Indiai 

If  these  words  corns  from  God,  they  will  stand. 
Amen,  and  Am 

Now  "every  heart  knoweth  its  own  bittern 
also — a  w  mnded  bird  always  flutters — therefore, 
let  no  personal  affront  be  taken. 

I  appeal  t<»  conscience  in  every  man  of  you,  Is 
not  the  sound  of  the  Great  Master's  feet  with  mv 
teetimotty  I  Have  not  all  of  you  been  admonished 
by  a  still  small  voice,  that  the  mysterious  red 
people,  whose  "  lives  are  given  them  for  a  prey," 
are  descendants  of  the  Great  Wrestler,  and  'preva- 
lent Prince  with  God  ! 

Lei  it  be  understood,  that  the  whole  land  of  the 
overshadowing  wing  (Rulers  and  people)  are  noti- 
fied by  this  testimony  ;  and  solemnly  warned  of 
the  danger,  and  the  destruction  sure  to  follow  all 
the   enemies,   and    despisers,    and  opposers  of  the 

outcast,  afflicted,  benighted,  and  severely  chastised 

Abokioivi:s  of  America  !  !  ! 

*  In 


(    180    ) 

I  would  not  make  these  assertions,  but  upon 
sacred  authority,  even  the  testimony  of  "  a  con- 
science purified  by  the  blood  of  Jesus,"  who  is  my 
Saviour,  my  Redeemer,  my  Law-giver,  Shepherd, 
and  everlasting  Judge ! 

The  cry  of  "  crazy  woman" — "  fanatic" — or  of 
"  delusion,"  "  enthusiasm  and  madness,"  will  not 
move  me,  I  humbly  trust,  from  my  purpose,  to 
blow  the  trumpet — to  sound  the  alarm — and  shout 
aloud — 

II  Ho  Land  !  Woe  Land  of  the  overspreading 
wing." — Send  the  "  Harp  of  Israel  to  the  poor  In- 
dians ;"  and  beware  of  Balak's  spirit — and  Balaam's 
folly  ! 

"  Behold  the  day  of  the  Lord  cometh  ;  it  hasteth 
greatly" — a  day  of  trouble — of  alarm — of  tempest 
— of  great  heats — and  of  great  frosts — of  sore 
famines — wars —  pestilences — noisome  beasts — 
awful  delusions  !  and  horrid  desolations ! 

"  Be  wise,  O  ye  rulers !- — be  instructed  ye  judges 
of  the  earth  :" — 

Prepare  to  meet  your  God  ! ! ! 

HARRIET  LIVERMORE. 


THE  END.
